Why MotionSense?  Simply Better!

 

MotionSense is the result of calculating velocity and direction (COG/SOG) using Doppler of the GPS RF carrier.  MotionSense COG/SOG is precise to within 0.1 knot and responds within 1 second - when applied to “vessel through the water” speed and heading data, the result is accurate and rapid calculations of water currents (Set and Drift) .

 

Many marine GPS’s compute COG/SOG by comparison of successive positions, resulting in COG/SOG outputs that are noisy and slow to respond which in turn makes Set and Drift calculations difficult to interpret. 

 

Instant and accurate knowledge of COG/SOG and water currents can be a powerful tool, whether  docking a large vessel, entering an unfamiliar passage  or yacht racing around the planet.  MotionSense delivers.
