Digital Yacht offers Onefix high-performance GNSS sensor for boaters

Digital Yacht is offering OneFix , a high-performance GNSS sensor designed to offer positioning better than 1 m. The multi-constellation, dual-band sensor also has robust anti-spoofing algorithms to provide more reliable navigation.

The sensor can fit most popular navigation systems, including legacy units, as well as connect to iPads and tablets and the latest multi-function NMEA 2000 compatible displays.

OneFix incorporates a dual-band (L1 and L5) processor and works with GPS, Galileo, NavIC and Beidou to calculate a fix. GLONASS is available as an option with a second active antenna. Its advanced algorithm compares position fixes across all networks and frequencies to minimize spoofing and positional inaccuracies. The result is a highly reliable position fix which typically offers sub-1m accuracy.

It’s also been designed to connect to older systems via legacy NMEA 0183 as well as more modern systems with NMEA 2000. The wireless interface allows connectivity to iPads and tablets including popular apps such as Navionics and TimeZero. Most importantly, the wireless interface allows the user to view satellite status and potential errors or issues of position spoofing. Alerts for the navigation display are generated via NMEA 2000 if OneFix detects issues.

It also incorporates data logging and an external event marker switch input so key points of a voyage (or even fishing hotspots) can be logged to memory. Tracks and data can be exported via a mobile device to Google Map overlays.
