The Garmin GPS24xd NMEA 2000 GPS Sensor with Heading Sensor is a rugged, high-sensitivity navigation sensor designed for connected marine networks. It delivers fast 10 Hz updates and a precise magnetic heading to keep charts, radar overlays, and MARPA accurate at any speed.
-
Multi-band GNSS with SBAS: Access GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou, with Multi-SBAS support to correct signal errors and improve integrity, continuity, and availability.
-
Fast 10 Hz updates: High-sensitivity position, velocity, and time data at 10 Hz for smooth, responsive navigation.
-
Accurate magnetic heading: Magnetic heading sensor provides 3° accuracy, stabilizing charts, radar overlays and MARPA even at slow speeds.
-
NMEA 2000 compatibility and flexible mounting: Seamlessly connects to NMEA 2000 devices with easy installation using under-deck, pole, or surface-mount options.
-
Included mounting options: Pole mount, surface mount, and under-deck mount are included for flexible installation on a wide range of vessels.
-
Cabling and network readiness: 6 m backbone/drop cable and NMEA 2000 T-connector for quick setup and reliable network integration.
-
Rugged marine-ready design: Fully gasketed high-impact plastic alloy case, IPX7 waterproofing, and a wide operating temperature range for challenging environments.
-
Power and network specs: Operates on 9–16 Vdc (unregulated); typical current 150 mA at 12 V; NMEA 2000 LEN 3 (150 mA).
-
All-in-one navigation data: Provides reliable data to compatible marine multifunction displays, instrument displays and autopilots for enhanced situational awareness.
-
Position accuracy: Typical marine use position accuracy <50 cm CEP (50%); <1.0 meter (88%) on compatible displays.
-
Compass-safe distance: 5.9" (150 mm) to help plan safe compass placement on installation.
Benefits: This sensor delivers precise, timely data that improves day-to-day navigation and decision-making on the water. The combination of multi-band GNSS with SBAS and 10 Hz updates translates into smoother chart plotting, more accurate radar overlays, and reliable MARPA calculations at any speed. A robust IPX7 enclosure and flexible mounting options simplify installation in challenging marine environments, while NMEA 2000 connectivity keeps your displays, instruments, and autopilots in sync across the vessel. With low power draw and a compact, marine-ready design, the GPS24xd acts as a dependable backbone for your connected navigation system, ensuring you have accurate position, heading, and timing data when it matters most.
