The GPS-20A is a high performance GPS receiver module containing an 18-channel parallel receiver sensor, which is ready for the SBAS service. By simply connecting a power supply to the GPS-20A, highly accurate position data can be quickly supplied to a Plotter or the ship’s navigation devices. The GPS-20A is also compatible with differential correction service broadcast from conventional beacon stations.
