Lowrance POINT1 GPS Module — Product description
Point-1 GPS antenna with built-in compass
Enhance your boating experience with the Lowrance Point-1 GPS module, a compact powerhouse that delivers precise position, speed, and heading data right to your marine electronics network. Unlike basic GPS antennas that only track location, this device integrates a high-performance electronic compass to provide stable heading information—even at slow speeds or when drifting. This means smoother chart overlays, reliable radar stabilization, and sharper course-over-ground tracking, helping you navigate confidently in challenging conditions like fog, tight channels, or busy harbors.
Designed for seamless integration into NMEA 2000 networks, the Point-1 shines on fishing vessels, recreational cruisers, and professional charter boats. Its rapid 10 Hz update rate ensures fluid panning on multifunction displays, reducing lag and improving situational awareness during critical maneuvers. Whether you’re marking waypoints for prime fishing spots or aligning radar returns with your chartplotter, this sensor stands out for its rugged build and marine-ready performance.
Standout Performance in Real-World Boating
Boat captains and anglers praise the Point-1 for its ability to maintain heading accuracy within 3 degrees, even with moderate pitch and roll. This gyro-compensated compass cuts through interference from nearby motors or metal structures, delivering data that’s trustworthy for chart rotation and radar picture stabilization. In low-speed scenarios—think anchoring or trolling—its course-over-ground calculations outperform standard GPS alone, minimizing drift errors that can throw off your position by meters.
Supporting GPS and GLONASS satellites out of the box, with Galileo readiness via software updates, it locks onto signals quickly (cold start in about 50 seconds) and holds them through tree cover or urban coastal areas. SBAS enhancements like WAAS further refine accuracy to under 5 meters horizontally, making it ideal for precise docking or reef navigation.
