SeaStation – GPS Anchoring System
The SeaStation GPS anchoring system is an option that can be added to any vessel that
currently has an Optimus 360 joystick control installed.
The SeaStation option gives you the ability to hold vessel position and heading via a
standalone GPS antenna.
SeaStar Solutions has applied the same smart algorithms to SeaStation as you have
experienced with Optimus 360 joystick control to reduce unnecessary shifting and
movement of the engines while providing superior position and heading functions for a
large selection of engine platforms.
Accuracy (target)
± 3 Meters Position hold
± 10° Heading hold
