Why MotionSense? Simply Better!

MotionSense is the result of calculating velocity and direction (COG/SOG) using Doppler of the GPS RF carrier. MotionSense COG/SOG is precise to within 0.1 knot and responds within 1 second - when applied to vessel speed and heading data, the result is accurate and rapid calculations of Set and Drift (water currents) .

Many marine GPS’s compute COG/SOG by comparison of successive position fixes, resulting in COG/SOG outputs that are noisy and slow to respond which in turn makes Set and Drift calculations difficult to interpret.

Instant and accurate knowledge of COG/SOG and water currents can be a powerful tool, whether docking a large vessel, entering an unfamiliar passage or yacht racing inshore and around the planet. MotionSense delivers.
