Maretron is now shipping its newest GPS antenna/receivers (GPS200s) with the most up-to-date World
Magnetic Model available.”, says Mr. Larry Anderson, Maretron’s VP of Sales & Marketing.

Maretron’s GPS200 is a state-of-the-art 32 channel GPS antenna/ receiver capable of producing five
position fixes per second. The GPS200 has unprecedented sensitivity and can even be mounted
underneath a fiberglass deck. An additional benefit of the GPS200 is that it broadcasts precision
Magnetic variation information using the current position and World Magnetic Model (WMM2010).
The GPS200 automatically decodes GPS correction signals from Satellite Based Augmentation
Systems (SBAS) including the North American Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), the
European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS), or the Asian Multifunctional Transport
Satellite based Augmentation System (MSAS) to provide better than 2.5m accuracy.
The GPS200 is easily mounted to any 1” standard marine mount with its standard 1”–14″ male threads.
It can also be mounted directly to a deck.
