Lowrance Point-1 GPS/Heading Antenna

Navigating open waters demands precision, especially when conditions turn tricky. The Lowrance Point-1 GPS/heading antenna steps up as a game-changer for boaters seeking rock-solid position, speed, and directional data. High-speed updates keep your charts steady, while the built-in compass delivers heading info that shines even at idle or slow drifts—perfect for stabilizing overlays on radar or electronic charts.

Boaters often struggle with antennas that falter below 5 knots, leading to jittery screens and unreliable navigation. This unit tackles that head-on with 10Hz refresh rates across GPS, GLONASS, and future Galileo support, plus SBAS enhancements like WAAS for pinpoint accuracy in coastal or offshore runs.

Unlock Superior Heading and Position Accuracy

At the heart of the Point-1 is its integrated electronic compass, pumping out heading data at 10Hz. This isn't just numbers—it's smoother chart rotation, better radar returns aligned perfectly, and course-over-ground that's trustworthy when wind or current pushes you sideways. Anglers marking waypoints during slow trolling or sailors plotting in light winds will notice the difference immediately.

• Ultra-Fast 10Hz Updates: Position and heading refresh ten times per second for fluid visuals on your multifunction display.
• Multi-GNSS Support: Locks onto GPS and GLONASS signals swiftly, with room for Galileo upgrades via software.
• SBAS Compatibility: Leverages WAAS, EGNOS, or MSAS for sub-meter precision without breaking a sweat.
• Rate-Stabilized Sensor: Minimizes errors from boat motion, ensuring steady performance in choppy seas.

Built Tough for Real-World Boating

Marine environments throw everything from pounding waves to scorching sun. With an IPX7 waterproof rating, this compact antenna shrugs off submersion and operates reliably from -13°F to 149°F. Flush or pole mounting keeps it out of the way, whether you're on a center console, yacht, or fishing skiff.

Its white housing blends with most vessels, and the rugged build means no worries about corrosion or vibration loosening connections over seasons of hard use.

Effortless NMEA 2000 Integration

Plug into any NMEA 2000 backbone and pair seamlessly with Lowrance HDS Gen2, Gen2 Touch, Elite-7 series, or broader network setups. No complex wiring—just drop it in and watch your displays come alive with enhanced data. Note: For safety, it's optimized for positioning and overlays, not high-precision tasks like MARPA radar tracking or autopilot steering.

Pro Installation Tips

• Mount high and forward, away from metal structures or engines to optimize satellite reception.
• Use the included T-connector for quick network taps without splicing.
• Calibrate the compass on calm water, turning in slow circles for best results.
• Secure the 15-foot extension cable to avoid snags during deck work.

Real Boater Scenarios Where It Excels

Picture this: You're chasing structure in shallow bays, motor idling as you scan sonar. Standard GPS wobbles, but the Point-1 keeps your heading locked, letting you hold position effortlessly. Or during night runs, radar overlays stay true, revealing hazards before your eyes adjust. Kayak anglers, offshore cruisers, and tournament pros alike rely on this level of detail to stay ahead.
