The external GPS is an optional accessory and is intended for use when no other strong signal is available for the Zipwake system. For example, when the vessel has only one helm station with a shelter (roof) and no other GPS sources are available. In this case, an external GPS antenna is an excellent solution. Its five-meter cable can be extended to 15 meters with Zipwake extension cables. It is easy to connect to the connector marked EXT GPS on the rear of the control panel. The external GPS can be connected to any control panel installed in the system.
