Garmin GPS 24xd – GPS antenna with heading sensor

The Garmin GPS 24xd is a GPS antenna with a built-in heading sensor, designed to work with an NMEA 2000 network on a boat or yacht. The device combines the function of a satellite position receiver with measurement of the bow direction, which is useful for navigation and autopilot control.

Signal reception and accuracy

The antenna supports an extended range of GNSS systems, so it can use the signal from more satellites than basic GPS. A fast update rate provides responsive position tracking, and the built-in heading sensor maintains directional accuracy even at low boat speed, when GPS alone struggles with this.

Connection and installation

The antenna connects to the installation via an NMEA 2000 network, so a compatible NMEA 2000 system on the boat is required to connect it. The manufacturer provides several mounting options, which makes it easier to fit the antenna to different types of vessels.

Build

IPX7 waterproofing allows the antenna to be mounted outdoors, even in a spot exposed to rain and waves washing over.
