Digital Yacht

<h3>About Digital Yacht</h3><p>Digital Yacht is a UK-based marine electronics manufacturer with a well-earned reputation for pushing the boundaries of onboard navigation, communication, and connectivity. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Bristol, England, the company has grown from a single innovative product into a globally recognized brand whose electronics are sold in more than 100 countries worldwide. With an engineering team boasting deep experience in marine systems and a commitment to open, NMEA-certified technology, Digital Yacht has become a go-to source for boaters who want cutting-edge electronics without compromising compatibility.</p><h3>Innovation Rooted in Real-World Boating</h3><p>Digital Yacht's story began with a single insight: that dedicated marine electronics and modern consumer devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops should work seamlessly together on the water. That philosophy drove the development of their landmark iAIS wireless AIS receiver — one of the first products to bring Automatic Identification System data to an iPad — and it continues to shape every product the company releases today. From advanced GPS sensors to 4G/5G cellular routers, Digital Yacht consistently bridges the gap between professional-grade marine technology and the connected devices sailors already carry aboard.</p><p>Their broad catalog of <a href="/200363-electronics-parts-accessories-digital-yacht-11253">electronics parts and accessories</a> reflects this mission. Whether you need AIS transponders, long-range Wi-Fi adapters, or GNSS positioning sensors, Digital Yacht designs these components to integrate cleanly into both new and legacy boat networks, extending the capability of your existing electronics at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement system.</p><h3>NMEA Integration and Connectivity</h3><p>One of Digital Yacht's signature strengths is their depth of expertise in marine data networking. Their lineup of <a href="/11253-digital-yacht-nmea-2000-interface-cables-and-connectors-200717">NMEA 2000 interface cables and connectors</a> — including the popular iKonvert and veKonvert series — provides practical, cost-effective solutions for bridging dedicated marine instruments with modern consumer devices. Whether you're routing GPS data to a navigation app or connecting a VHF radio to a chartplotter, these interfaces make network integration straightforward, even on older vessels.</p><h3>Vessel Monitoring and Power Management</h3><p>Digital Yacht has also expanded into onboard energy awareness. Their battery monitors and volt meters are engineered to work with multifunction displays, turning a standard MFD into a sophisticated battery and energy management interface. This approach reflects Digital Yacht's broader design ethos: add powerful new functionality without requiring a wholesale system overhaul.</p><h3>Entertainment and Signal Solutions</h3><p>Staying entertained and informed at anchor or underway is made easier with Digital Yacht's marine-grade <a href="/11253-digital-yacht-tv-antennas-201118">TV antennas</a>, designed to pull in reliable signals in the challenging RF environment found at sea. Rounding out the lineup, their extensive range of navigation parts and accessories — from high-precision GNSS sensors to compass modules and navigation software — ensures every aspect of safe, confident passage-making is covered.</p><h3>Why Boaters Choose Digital Yacht</h3><ul style="list-style:disc"><li><strong>Open-standard design:</strong> Products are NMEA-certified and built to work with third-party apps, software, and hardware.</li><li><strong>Global reach, UK craftsmanship:</strong> Designed and manufactured in the UK with US and European distribution support.</li><li><strong>Future-ready connectivity:</strong> Continuously evolving product lines cover 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, and AIS technologies.</li><li><strong>Broad compatibility:</strong> Solutions exist for everything from small sailing dinghies to superyachts.</li></ul>

Product Details

The Digital Yacht GPS160F is a specialized high-performance GNSS positioning sensor designed as a direct replacement for legacy Furuno plotter and GPS systems. This purpose-built sensor provides an economical and reliable solution for Furuno systems affected by GPS rollover issues that can render older chart plotters unusable.

Key Features:

  • 72-channel QuadNav technology supporting GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou satellite systems
  • Outputs legacy NMEA 0183 format specifically configured for older Furuno equipment compatibility
  • Drop-in replacement for Furuno GP32, GP310, GP320, NavNet, NavNet VX2, and other legacy systems
  • Sub-1 meter positioning accuracy with anti-spoofing algorithm for robust interference rejection
  • Ultra-low power consumption (less than 25mA)
  • Configurable through internal DIP switches for various NMEA output formats and baud rates
  • Supports 4800, 38400, and 115200 baud operation
  • Includes 10-meter cable and dedicated Furuno interfacing manual
  • Simple 4-wire connection to existing Furuno systems

Developed in conjunction with Furuno UK, the GPS160F solves positioning sensor failures in older Furuno equipment while providing modern multi-constellation GNSS performance. The sensor has been tested with a wide variety of legacy Furuno products including original NavNet MFDs, NavNet VX2, M1735 Radar, GP7000, and FCV family sounders. Please note: This sensor cannot connect to a GP32 display but can replace the GP32 as a positioning data source for other Furuno devices.
