Is NOT having a heading sensor Costing YOU Fish? External GPS receiver fully explained.

- I am demonstrating on my boat why I decided to purchase an external GPS receiver. Besides being able to position the GPS Puck close to your transducer, there are two other benefits that make the purchase worth the money.
Thank you
Probably the first to explain exactly what the Puck actually does.
Adding a NMEA 2000 backbone and a SteadyCast heading sensor was a game changer for me. I can now orient my maps to my boat.
On a Garmin, you can use GPS, GLONAS, Galileo all at the same getting an error rate down to 5 feet. Many people are not aware of this feature and then add a $140 SteadyCast
Interesting comparison never gave it much thought. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Dan. Appreciate you watching brother 🐿
Good video!
The Point-1 is every single penny worth it! 👍👍
I'm using it for years now and fishing and approaching waypoints is a bless now. ❤️
Thanks Dutch Fisherman. I couldn’t agree more! 🐿
I've always wondered about those. Excellent video. Thank you for sharing
Thanks Chad. I hope I explained it well without being too boring 👍🐿
@@FishinwithSquirrel you did a great job. I had seen them but had no clue why. You really explained well and in depth. And using the buoy as a brush pile example was genius

That boat is really cool!
Thank You Julie !🐿
thank you for the point 1 antenna video I like when you talk about the setting, down scan, sidescan and sonar. It ben hard for me to put all this to gather I just installed the point 1 and rewird clear power hardness. please keep makeing more video on the hds I like how to videos thank you I in joy you videos.
Thank You for watching my channel Mark. If you ever have anything specific you would like me to make a video on, please leave it in the comments. I’ll do my best. I’m not a professional, just someone who likes the outdoors 🐿👍
That was awsome. Thank you
Thank you for watching Kylie! 🐿
That was interesting. Thank You for sharing. Stay Safe Squirrel!!
Thank you Wayne! I appreciate you watching 🐿
Hi there!
Im fishing on a kayak and got Elite FS and Im thinking about to buy point 1 antena. I want to ask something:
I noticed that there's a 3-4 secs delay on my GPS movements. I mean I'm on my way to a way point and once stop completely the GPS still moving and that's so annoying so I wonder if point 1 antena will solve that problem.
Good vid BTW 👌
The GPS works off of movement only. That’s how the map shows your direction, only when you move. The delay may be a result of the signal your unit is receiving. A point 1 will help with both. It’s has an internal compass to keep your orientation correct on the map. You will also get a stronger signal so your error/ accuracy will be a lot tighter. Thanks for the view!🐿
Just to be clear. The point one will not completely take the delay you are talking about away. It’s not so much a delay as it not being accurate down to a foot. If you turn on the track feature on your unit and stay parked to a dock, you will not see a single dot. It will set a lot of jumbled circles like you are moving around. This is because it’s not perfectly accurate. The point one will be a little better but still not perfect. However, when you are sitting still, the point 1 will keep your curser from spinning around like a top on your map if you have North up. If you have heading up like I run on my map, it will keep the map from spinning all over the place when you are sitting still. Just wanted to clarify becausea point 1 is about $200 bucks and I don’t want you to be dissatisfied. I love mine and would buy another if it messed up. Don’t forget the Point 1 runs off of the NMEA 2000 network. So, You will need a NEMA starter kit ($70) has everything you need, cables, power cable, and tees.
Very helpful! Thank you!
Happy it helped you out. Thank you for watching! 🐿
Very informative video. Thanks
Thank You Phillip ! 🐿
Great video thank you!
Thank You for watching!🐿
Hello!! I would like to ask a question about point-1!
When I installed point-1 on my elite fs9, and was ready to calibrate,
I found that the rate of turn was already 5-6 degrees,
but my boat was tied to the shore and didn't move! What is the reason?
Be sure your point one is not mounted around anything magnetic 🧲 ex carbon steel ect. Check your location with a compass. Then calibrate in the middle of the lake away from bridges. Bridges are full of steel. Hope this helps. 🐿
If mounted next to the graph will it couse interferance
I mounted my point 1 at the back of the boat by the transducer for accuracy when marking waypoints. I would check the location with a standard compass. If there is no magnet interference then you should be good.
