Point-1AP GPS/Heading Ant. for Autopilot

Enhance Your Boating Precision with Superior Heading and Positioning

Imagine navigating choppy waters or anchoring in tight spots with unwavering confidence in your boat's exact position and direction. The Lowrance Point-1AP GPS and heading antenna delivers that reliability, feeding pinpoint-accurate data directly to your autopilot and displays via NMEA 2000. Mariners trust it for stabilizing charts during radar overlays, maintaining steady courses at trolling speeds, or simply holding a straight line when wind and currents fight back. Its built-in electronic compass shines where traditional GPS falters—at low speeds or standstill—ensuring your Lowrance system performs like a pro captain.

Crafted for real-world marine demands, this compact unit shrugs off harsh conditions, from saltwater spray to pounding waves. Whether you're chasing trophy fish offshore or cruising coastal bays, it upgrades your setup from basic navigation to autopilot mastery without the guesswork.

Standout Features for Serious Boaters

• Ultra-Fast 10Hz Updates: Smooth position and speed data refreshes 10 times per second, banishing jittery tracks for fluid on-screen movement.
• Multi-GNSS Support: Locks onto GPS and GLONASS satellites right away, with readiness for Galileo updates—more signals mean tougher tracking in cluttered harbors or under bridges.
• SBAS Enhanced Accuracy: Leverages WAAS, EGNOS, and MSAS for meter-level precision, even in challenging coverage areas.
• Heading Mastery: 10Hz compass output stabilizes charts, enables radar superimposition, and computes true course-over-ground below 1 knot—perfect for precise maneuvering.
• Rugged Marine Build: Fully sealed against water and corrosion, with a low-profile design that mounts easily on T-tops, rails, or decks.
• Seamless NMEA 2000 Plug-and-Play: Joins your network effortlessly, sharing data across HDS, Elite, or autopilot components.

Seamless Setup and Real-World Performance

Integration is straightforward: drop it into your NMEA 2000 backbone with the included T-connector and extension cable, and your Lowrance autopilot gains GPS-grade heading for spot-on steering. Boaters report crisper autopilot responses in crosswinds, fewer manual corrections during long hauls, and stabilized visuals that make interpreting radar returns intuitive. It's not just data—it's the edge that turns good trips into great ones, especially when visibility drops or you're holding position over a wreck.

Mount it high and forward for optimal satellite views and compass calibration, and calibrate once for ongoing accuracy. In rough seas, its pitch/roll tolerance keeps readings steady, proving why it's a staple for tournament anglers and commercial operators alike.
