Furuno WS-200

The WS-200 WeatherStation instrument informs you of instantaneous changes in the weather around you. Wind Speed and Direction are measured using four ultrasonic transducers. No moving parts results in better durability and reliability. The internal WAAS GPS engine and three-axis, solid-state compass make it possible for the WS-200 to provide both Apparent and True Wind Speed and Direction without the need to add on additional sensors. Additionally, the WAAS GPS provides navigation data as well as magnetic variation and is suitable as your primary GPS source. The internal temperature and barometric pressure sensors help predict changing weather patterns. Combined with the internal heading sensor, all of your navigation needs are provided! No other sensor on the market incorporates all of these sensors in one compact housing. What sets this apart from the competition is the ability to provide 2° heading accuracy under dynamic conditions, such as rough seas. WS-200's unique dynamic motion correction software is the key difference. The WS-200's heading is highly accurate and stable under most sea conditions, even if the vessel is pitching and rolling up to 30° in rough seas. Also unique to the WS-200 is that the 3D accelerometer and rate gyro are temperature compensated resulting in precise tilt and rate of turn data. This allows the WS-200 to accurately measure True Wind Speed and Direction even when tilted up to 30°.
