Lowrance Point-1 External GPS Antenna — Precision Position and Heading for Confident Navigation

From Advance Trident comes the Lowrance Point-1 External GPS Antenna, a compact, rugged solution that delivers fast, reliable position updates plus true heading data. It’s built for real-world boating where chart overlays and radar displays must stay accurate as you maneuver through harbors, channels, and offshore passages.

Why Point-1 matters on every voyage

• Ultra-smooth 10 Hz updates — receive ten position and heading updates per second for fluid chart rendering, precise course over ground, and dependable radar alignment at any speed.
• Integrated electronic compass — heading data remains accurate even when speed is low or seas are choppy, ensuring radar overlays and chart stabilization stay true to the boat’s direction.
• Multi-constellation positioning — supports GPS and GLONASS with forward-looking Galileo via a future software update, plus SBAS (WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS) to improve fixes in challenging environments.
• NMEA 2000 connectivity — plug-and-play integration with HDS Gen2, HDS Gen2 Touch, Elite-7 displays, or your existing NMEA 2000 network for seamless data sharing.
• Rugged and weatherproof — designed to withstand harsh marine conditions, with versatile mounting options that fit a wide range of boat layouts (pole or surface).
• Plug-and-play reliability — simply install and let Point-1 feed position and heading data to your navigation and radar systems for clearer navigation and more confident decisions on the water.

What makes Point-1 unique

Traditional position-only antennas can leave you guessing your heading at slow speeds or in rolling seas. Point-1 combines precise 10 Hz position data with a dedicated electronic compass in a single, compact package, delivering stable chart overlays and accurate radar alignment even during docking or congested-water maneuvers. This integrated approach reduces guesswork and enhances situational awareness across your marine electronics ecosystem.
