NAV-TRACKER GPS Tracking System
The
Nav-Tracker will keep you informed of your boats location through a GPS*
tracking service provided by Inmarsat D+. This extremely reliable service
formerly used exclusively by commercial vessels in now available to the private
boat owner.
When armed the system passively sets a 500 foot radius “Geo-Fence” around the vessel. In the event the geo-fence is breached, as many as 4 recipients you designate will receive an email and/or text message displaying the vessel name, its location in Latitude and Longitude, the closest city, its speed and heading. The unit will also send you a daily status report with the same information. Finally boat owners can have piece of mind knowing where their boat is at all times. Antenna can be mounted on radar arch or hardtop and the junction box can be mounted anywhere there is space under the hardtop or console.
