KEY FEATURES

Digital Yacht have unveiled their TriNav™ GPS160, a GPS antenna with NMEA 0183. This is a new, high performance positioning sensor using GPS, Glonass, and the new Galileo satellite systems. Therefore, providing exceptional position accuracy and redundancy. Typical accuracy is better than 1m. Data can also be set to output at up to 18Hz for smoother plotter track displays. TriNav™ software technology also improves positioning inaccuracy that could occur through spoofing and local interference.

The device has a variety of modes through field programming. This includes single GNSS operation (eg Galileo only) as well as output configurations such as update rate, NMEA sentence structure etc.

The GPS160 with NMEA 0183 output (4800, 38400 and 115200 baud programmable). As well as a USB variant for PC, MAC and Linux. For NMEA 2000 systems, we offer a bundle with a Digital Yacht iKonvert NMEA 2000 gateway. Therefore allowing the easy and flexible install of NMEA 2000 without the need for cumbersome drop cables.

The GPS160 also supports a simple external MOB (man-over-board) switch or device. When triggered, the GPS160 creates a “synthesised” AIS SART MOB message on its NMEA output. This can then interface with a local plotter to identify the MOB. Most modern plotters support this with a clear MOB icon. As well as instant bearing and distance data to navigate to the casualty.

Galileo is the new global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that has been in development over the past two decades. It joins the GPS and GLONASS systems and offers mariners a 3rd reliable positioning source. It is now fully operational as of 2020.

There are currently 22 satellites in usable condition. This means the satellite is working and adds to the service provision. There are then 2 satellites that are in “testing” and 2 more are marked as not available. The final constellation now consists of 30 satellites (24 operational and 6 spares) as of 2020.

October 2023 – New Features:  All GPS160 models now feature a new GNSS engine that supports QuadNav technology. These models now support the Chinese Beidou satellites (as well as GPS, Glonas and Galileo), which means all position fixes, course and speed over ground calculations will now be utilising the strongest satellite signals from a network of over 100 satellites.  This results in improved time to first fix, more robust operation against jamming, “spoofing” and outages and also improved current consumption (<25mA)

Digital Yacht GPS105 (GPS150) is a perfect replacement for Raystar 120 or 125

Please note that this older post has now been updated for our latest GPS150 smart antenna.

With Spring just a few days away and thoughts turning to the new sailing season, we have noticed an above average increase in requests for our GPS150 smart GPS antenna. On further investigation, it would appear that many of these units are being used as replacements for old Raymarine Raystar 120 and 125 GPS antennas.

Although not Seatalk compatible, the GPS150 is a very good and cost effective replacement as all older Raymarine chart plotters/MFDs have a 2 wire NMEA0183 input which the GPS150 can connect to. Your Boat’s Position, course and speed over the ground plus all of the Satellite signal and position information is provided by the GPS150 and performance will actually be better than your old Raystar, as the GPS150 features the very latest GPS receiver technology.

Supplied with the same standard 1″ x 14TPI threaded mount that the Raystar had, you can simply unscrew the old unit and screw on the GPS150. It comes with an integral 10m Power and Data cable and will work from a 12v or 24v supply.

Connection is very easy, simply connect the GPS150 Red wire to the Boat’s Positive Supply, the Black wire to the Boat’s Negative Supply, the Yellow Wire to the +ve NMEA Input of the Raymarine plotter and the Green wire to the -ve NMEA Input of the Raymarine plotter.

willthe gps 105 work with a Raymarine RL70c pathfinder plus my raystar 120 is shot

Hi Roger, Yes our GPS105 will work with the Raymarine RL70c as long as you have a spare NMEA 0183 input. If you have the NMEA cable that fits in the back of the RL70c then you can connect the GPS here or if you have another NMEA input in the Raymarine system. You might want to go for our new GPS150 which is GPS+GLONASS and will be shipping towards the end of this month.

I have an older Raytheon RL70c at the helm, for radar, and it also displays my chartplotter data via SeaTalk from my older RC520, which is mounted in the cabin at the nav station. My original gps antenna is shot. Will the Digital Yacht GPS 105 or 150 work? Will the antenna wire have to be run below to the RC520, or can I hook it into the RL70c and have it sent the antenna date to the RC520 thru the existing SeaTalk cables?

Hi Ted, yes you can connect our GPS150 in to the NMEA 0183 input of your RL70c and then this data will be converted to Seatalk and be passed around the network to the RC520 and any other devices that can read and use the GPS data.

I have a failed Raystar 120 which connects to a working Raymarine SL70RC Plus. The failed 120 connects to the seatalk connection on the Plotter via junction box which ties in the power. Green wire from the old 120 is not used in the present configuration. Will the Digital Yacht 150 work, connecting just yellow NMEA on the DY150 to Yellow NMEA on the Seatalk?

The GPS150 cannot be connected to the SeaTalk network wiring. You will need to connect the GPS150 NMEA0183 output (Yellow+ and Green-) to an NMEA0183 input on the Raymarine system.

There is an NMEA input on the rear of the SL70RC that could be used or perhaps you have an NMEA input on a TriData or Multi Instrument or even the autopilot control box, but you will need to look through the manuals and work out the best input to use confirming that it definitely will accept the GPS sentences.

Paul (Digital Yacht)

Hi, my Ray M.125 GPS sensor failed last month and I have replaced with your GPS 150. The cost savings and multi-functional abilities of the GPS 150 was and are impressive. I was able to route the GPS 150 into the 0183 input in my Ray M. Auto Pilot computer module. While the GPS data is happily restored on my E-80 MFD and VHF, I am not displaying any GPS detail in the GPS menu page on my E-80 MFD, Also the boat speed display on my ST60 Tri-data display is not reading correctly which appears to me as perhaps some interference between the NEMA imput from the GPS 150 and Ray’s Seatalk. I have placed a EMC supression ferrule on the GPS 150 cable. Any advice on these 2 issues? Thank you. Bob

Hi Bob, I suspect that the reason the GPS satellite and signal strength details are not coming up, is because your Autopilot Course Computer does not accept the NMEA0183 GSA and GSV messages that include this data. Might be better to connect the GPS150 to one of the NMEA0183 ports on the E80 MFD, which reads a lot more different NMEA0183 data including the GSA and GSV messages. As for the boat speed reading on the ST60 Tri-Data being affected by the GPS150, I think this is highly unlikely. I have never heard of the low frequency pulses generated by the paddle wheel boatspeed transducer being affected by NMEA 0183 data. What exactly are you seeing on the boat speed read out and what happens to this reading if you temporarily power down the GPS150 ?

Hello. Il have a raymarine c80 and i need a new antenna. Can i use the gps 150. Regards Flemming

Hi Flemming, yes our GPS150 can connect to the NMEA0183 input of the C80 (two wire connection) and this data will be converted in to SeaTalk data for the rest of the system as well.

Guillermo says: June 30, 2015

My Raymarine RS 125 does not work and will replace your GPS 150 teams that I have are: E 80 classic, smart pilot S2G AST, DSM 300G sonar and autopilot. GPS 150 is compatible with these items? As I proceed to the installation?

Hi Guillermo,

Yes our GPS150 will work with this Raymarine system. You should be able to connect it to the NMEA0183 Input on the E80 or the NMEA Input on the Autopilot.

Best regards PAUL

Hi. When doing that do I need to unplug the seatalk wire from the back of the c80 mfd?

The SeaTalk wire to the back of the C80 will have all of the SeaTalk data on it, not just the GPS data, so I would not disconnect this cable. However, I would make sure that the Raystar GPS is disconnected from the SeaTalk bus, as even if it is not getting a position fix, it may send status messages on to the SeaTalk bus, which might conflict and confuse the C80 MFD.

Hi My C80 has a 5 pin nmea input/output plug – will your unit plug right in or do I somehow have to figure out which 2 pins are going to marry up with the yellow and green wires

The GPS150 comes with a 10m cable that has bare wires on the end, which you would normally wire in to the data cable of whatever equipment you were connecting it to.

For the Raymarine C80, the NMEA cable that you need is Part Number R08004.

I know these are no longer made, but it is possible that some distributors and dealers still have spare cables. I will email you with details of the Raymarine distributor in your country.

I purchased your 150 last season for my charter boat, following failure of the old 120 receiver. The unit I have is an RC520 differential. There are great inaccuracies at low speed now. I rely heavily on that unit for trolling speed, and that number is all over the place. Do you have any suggestions?

In the System Setup menu on the RC520 there is a GPS SOG/COG Filter option and you probably want to make set this to HIGH. Early GPS systems had to cope with the Selective Availability (SA) function that added a 100m random regrading of the signal, so they filtered/damped/averaged the raw data to stop the ship jumping around on the plotter screen. Play with this setting and see if it improves things, before we try changing the GPS150 operating mode.

Ships fooled in GPS spoofing attack suggest Russian cyberweapon

By David Hambling

10 August 2017

GPS signals of 20 ships in the Black Sea were hacked to indicate they were 32km inland

plainpicture/Tilby Vattard

Reports of satellite navigation problems in the Black Sea suggest that Russia may be testing a new system for spoofing GPS, New Scientist has learned. This could be the first hint of a new form of electronic warfare available to everyone from rogue nation states to petty criminals.

On 22 June, the US Maritime Administration filed a seemingly bland incident report. The master of a ship off the Russian port of Novorossiysk had discovered his GPS put him in the wrong spot – more than 32 kilometres inland, at Gelendzhik Airport.

After checking the navigation equipment was working properly, the captain contacted other nearby ships. Their AIS traces – signals from the automatic identification system used to track vessels – placed them all at the same airport. At least 20 ships were affected .

While the incident is not yet confirmed, experts think this is the first documented use of GPS misdirection – a spoofing attack that has long been warned of but never been seen in the wild.

Read more: “I’m alarmed at how much infrastructure is open to online attack”

Until now, the biggest worry for GPS has been it can be jammed by masking the GPS satellite signal with noise. While this can cause chaos, it is also easy to detect. GPS receivers sound an alarm when they lose the signal due to jamming. Spoofing is more insidious: a false signal from a ground station simply confuses a satellite receiver. “Jamming just causes the receiver to die, spoofing causes the receiver to lie,” says consultant David Last , former president of the UK’s Royal Institute of Navigation.

Todd Humphreys , of the University of Texas at Austin, has been warning of the coming danger of GPS spoofing for many years. In 2013, he showed how a superyacht with state-of-the-art navigation could be lured off-course by GPS spoofing. “The receiver’s behaviour in the Black Sea incident was much like during the controlled attacks my team conducted,” says Humphreys.

Humphreys thinks this is Russia experimenting with a new form of electronic warfare. Over the past year, GPS spoofing has been causing chaos for the receivers on phone apps in central Moscow to misbehave . The scale of the problem did not become apparent until people began trying to play Pokemon Go. The fake signal, which seems to centre on the Kremlin, relocates anyone nearby to Vnukovo Airport , 32 km away. This is probably for defensive reasons; many NATO guided bombs, missiles and drones rely on GPS navigation, and successful spoofing would make it impossible for them to hit their targets.

But now the geolocation interference is being used far away from the Kremlin. Some worry that this means that spoofing is getting easier. GPS spoofing previously required considerable technical expertise. Humphreys had to build his first spoofer from scratch in 2008, but notes that it can now be done with commercial hardware and software downloaded from the Internet.

Nor does it require much power. Satellite signals are very weak – about 20 watts from 20,000 miles away – so a one-watt transmitter on a hilltop, plane or drone is enough to spoof everything out to the horizon.

If the hardware and software are becoming more accessible, nation states soon won’t be the only ones using the technology. This is within the scope of any competent hacker . There have not yet been any authenticated reports of criminal spoofing, but it should not be difficult for criminals to use it to divert a driverless vehicle or drone delivery, or to hijack an autonomous ship. Spoofing will give everyone affected the same location, so a hijacker would just need a short-ranged system to affect one vehicle.

But Humphreys believes that spoofing by a state operator is the more serious threat. “It affects safety-of-life operations over a large area,” he says. “In congested waters with poor weather, such as the English Channel, it would likely cause great confusion, and probably collisions.”

Last says that the Black Sea incident suggests a new device capable of causing widespread disruption, for example, if used in the ongoing dispute with Ukraine. “My gut feeling is that this is a test of a system which will be used in anger at some other time.”

The research deals with the priority areas of digitalization in the transport sector in interpreting the strategy “Moscow ‘Smart City—2030’.” The research aims to study the priority areas of digitalization of transport flows of the metropolis and the potential impact of digitalization on the functioning of the territory. By applying the methods of content analysis and the regulatory-legal method in the research, the authors assessed the position of the city authorities on the most sought-after areas of innovation in the transport sector and determined the composition of socio-economic benefits of digitalization of the transport sector. The analysis of statistical indicators of the development of the transport sector of the Moscow urban agglomeration has confirmed the growing need to improve the efficiency of transport infrastructure in the broad sense, including an increase in the level of connectivity of the city districts and the level of sustainability of the transport system. The results show certain disproportions between the priority areas of transport development and the actual needs of the urban infrastructure, as well as the presence of significant legal constraints in implementing uncrewed transport concepts. It is demonstrated that there is a certain consensus between the municipal authorities and the population on the issue of assigning the transport sector among the priorities for implementing digital technology. The specifics of the metropolitan area (high concentration of capital and innovation activity) allow for considering Moscow as a model example of the introduction of innovative technologies. In this regard, it is necessary to optimize the legal restrictions on the introduction of innovations in the field of transport (on the model of a legal sandbox, Regulatory Sandbox).
