Product Description
The Faria Chesapeake Black 5-inch Studded GPS Speedometer is a great replacement for your current speedometer, fitting seamlessly into your existing instrument dash. It uses an internal GPS antenna to gather information, so there's no need for an external one. With a highly accurate 48-channel GPS receiver, it provides the most accurate GPS data on the market today. The optional digital LCD displays Course Over Ground (COG) and actual heading. The speed is shown by an analog pointer driven by a digital stepper motor, ensuring high accuracy and less bounce during vessel operation. It offers many benefits, like no need for an external GPS antenna, premium LED back-lit dials, ultra-fast satellite acquisition (1 second from hot start), speed accuracy of +/- 1 MPH, and heading accuracy of +/- 1 degree. It's a perfect replacement for failing speed sensing devices and suitable for slow-moving vessels.

It has a dual scale (Imperial and Metric), Deutsch connectors, and comes with a factory P/N SGP501. Sold individually, gauge cover not included.

Using the Faria Chesapeake Black 5-inch Studded GPS Speedometer is easy. First, install it in place of your old speedometer on the instrument dash.
