SIMRAD GN30 Marine GPS Navigator Shipmate GN 30 D BW 1007601 305

The SIMRAD GN30 is a high-performance, dual-constellation GPS/GNSS navigator designed for professional mariners and serious boaters who demand precision, reliability, and seamless integration. Originally branded under the respected Shipmate name (as indicated by “Shipmate GN 30 D BW”), this unit is part of Simrad’s comprehensive marine electronics lineup, bearing the product code 1007601 305.

This navigator serves as the primary position-finding brain for a vessel’s network, delivering exceptional accuracy for navigation, plotting, and integration with other onboard systems.

Key Features & Highlights

• Dual-Constellation GNSS Receiver: The “GN” in GN30 stands for Global Navigation Satellite System. It tracks both GPS (USA) and GLONASS (Russia) satellite constellations simultaneously. This provides faster acquisition times, superior accuracy, and enhanced reliability, especially in challenging environments like coastal areas or near tall structures.

• High-Performance Antenna: The system includes a high-sensitivity, 5-meter cable antenna designed to maintain a strong lock on satellites, even in rough sea conditions.

• Compact and Rugged Design: Built to withstand the harsh marine environment, the GN30 is fully waterproof (IPX6/IPX7 standards) and resistant to saltwater corrosion. Its compact form factor makes it easy to install on various vessel types.

• Seamless NMEA 2000 & 0183 Integration: The GN30 is designed to be the central positioning source for your entire vessel’s network. It effortlessly connects via plug-and-play NMEA 2000 and also provides standard NMEA 0183 data outputs. This allows it to supply precise location, speed, and heading data to:

  • Chartplotters (Simrad, B&G, Lowrance, and other brands)

  • Radar systems

  • Autopilots

  • AIS transceivers

  • Fish Finders

  • Instrument Displays

• Exceptional Accuracy: With its advanced processor and multi-channel tracking, the GN30 delivers position accuracy typically within 2.5 meters, providing the confidence needed for precise navigation and course-keeping.
