Description
Garmin SteadyCast | NMEA 2000 High-Speed Heading Sensor
Optimize your radar overlay and chart orientation using the Garmin SteadyCast Heading Sensor, a high-frequency MEMS-based compass. This sensor provides a stable heading reference at a 10Hz update rate, ensuring your boat icon stays aligned with your actual course even when trolling, drifting, or operating in heavy currents where GPS-based COG data often fails to provide accurate orientation.
Designed for easy NMEA 2000 plug-and-play installation, SteadyCast effectively eliminates “chart spinning” on your MFD. Strategic placement away from magnetic interference sources like speakers or trolling motors is critical to maintaining its precision, providing the autopilot-quality heading data necessary for consistent navigational performance in coastal and offshore environments.
