Everything you need in the field of boat navigation can be found at Mediawinkel.eu! When you find yourself on the water with your own boat, it is very important that you have everything you need to navigate properly. Without all these forms of navigation for the boat, you increase the chance that something will go wrong. It may happen that you no longer follow the right course or lose your way completely. Fortunately, there are many accessories that can prevent such problems. Several devices can play a significant role here. Below you will find an overview of the ways in which you can perform navigation on a boat and what types of devices can help you with this.
In what ways can navigation be carried out on the boat?
At Mediawinkel.eu you can purchase various devices that will assist you with boat navigation. Below you will find an overview of the devices that you can find in the range:
Compass
The compass has been used by sailors for centuries. Although there are now new and more advanced ways to navigate the boat, many still rely on their compass. Using a ship's compass you can quickly see whether you are still following the correct course, and you can also see which direction you should go in case you are off course. A compass is very mobile, because its overall compactness allows you to carry this device on your own person at all times.
In addition to the more old-fashioned models, there are also advanced models that can do much more compared to an average compass. You can set your own course here, and if you deviate from this you will receive a signal. Ideal for boat navigation if you make longer trips by boat.
Radar
A radar allows you to better map your environment on the water. Not only will you see relatively nearby ships indicated, but everything near the bow will be reflected on this. There are differences between radars mainly in terms of operating range, the use of 3G or 4G, the radar technology used, power consumption, wind resistance and other properties. In the Mediawinkel.eu boat navigation range you will find several radars that can assist you in navigating the boat.
Tracker
A tracker uses GPS to determine the current position of the boat. This way you always know exactly where you are, trackers are known for their accuracy. You can have the data sent to your mobile phone via the GSM network or Bluetooth. The data can also be saved on an SD card. This makes it a good way to protect the boat against theft, for example, because you can always see where it is located. You can also set a safety zone, so that you are always warned when another boat is in this zone. Thanks to the overall compactness and light weight of the device, you can place it anywhere and move it easily. The software is extremely user-friendly, so you'll get the hang of it in no time.
Depth sounder
As the name suggests, a depth gauge allows you to see how deep the water is. Even at a relatively high speed, such as 60 knots, a depth sounder will be able to give you an accurate picture of the depth. You will be warned by an alarm for both shallow and deep water. Can be placed on the on-board network.
Autopilot for boat navigation
Navigating not only means that you get a better idea of the environment and the place of your boat in it, but navigation also refers to the help of accessories that assist you in maneuvering on the water. One of the ways you can navigate better through the water is an autopilot. Things such as sailing direction and movements are monitored using sensors. This allows you to navigate the waters more accurately, reach your destination faster and also save on fuel. Autopilots are easy to install, durable, easy to use and will be of great value in boat navigation.
Autopilot
Autopilot is similar to an autopilot, but this gadget is even more resistant to bad weather conditions and rough waves. It is recommended to use this device only for boats smaller than 10 meters. Easy to install and operate.
Antennas and radar poles
To make all kinds of boat navigation equipment work optimally, you need the help of antennas and radar poles. These ensure a better and further reach. This will give you a better picture of a larger area and you will be able to better stay on course while sailing. Essential tools when you want to perform boat navigation for longer distances.
