The SKIPPER™ 150’s internal GPS receiver and NMEA 0183 output provide accurate position information to onboard systems such as plotters and depth sounders.

Because the SKIPPER™ 150 uses new, secure, IP-based technologies, billing is based on the kilobytes of data sent and received, not the time it takes.
