Title: 1198 gps module
Post by: beertech on April 06, 2014, 10:00:00 PM

what gps module works with this unit.  Thinking of getting the 1198  and using it on two boats and wondering what the cost is going to get to buy the module . am confused which ones work.  one boat is nothing fancy so dont need compass gps ect

AS GRP is standard. 1198 will work with all of them. $150  You might want to get the 1199. It has an internal GPS.

You could even go cheaper with the GR16 GPS Receiver.

what would i lose by going to the gr16 reciever.  The reason for the 1198 and not the 1199 as its on sale 800 cheaper right now.  also what transducer would i need to buy. sorry the hummingbird site is not displaying the models they work on for me.  and when mounting external gps is there a certain distance it has to be from headunit.

You would be giving up a little accuracy if using the GR16 versus the GRP.
XHS-9-HDSi-180-T Hi-Def Side Imaging transducer for the transom.
No minimum distance except that the unit should not be physically block the line of site between the GPS Receiver and the satellites.
