Manuals
MULTI-BAND GNSS AND MULTI-CONSTELLATION
The multi-band GNSS (L1 and L5 GPS) and multi-constellation (GPS, Galileo1,
GLONASS, and BeiDou1) receiver deliver precise positioning2.
BOAT HEAVE AND MORE
Get reliable, accurate boat heave, pitch, and roll information — even in rough
waters.
BUILT-IN ATTITUDE HEADING REFERENCE SYSTEM (AHRS)
With a fully integrated attitude and heading reference system for better GPS
heading at all speeds, including pitching in rough seas, taking sharp turns, or
standing still.
ACCURATE HEADING DATA
Multiple receivers deliver heading accuracy within 2 degrees. Because it uses
satellite signals, you don’t have to worry about magnetic interference.
PRIMARY SENSOR ACROSS MULTIPLE SYSTEMS
You can use MSC 10 as the primary sensor for autopilots and other onboard
systems that need accurate heading information.
NMEA 2000® NETWORK COMPATIBLE
Get heading, pitch, roll, and heave information delivered straight to your
compatible Garmin chartplotter via the NMEA 2000 network.
EASY TO INSTALL
This compact device is simple to install and easily integrates into your Garmin
marine ecosystem.
10 HZ UPDATE RATE
Get better, more detailed tracking information, thanks to the 10 Hz position
update rate.
BACKUP HEADING SENSOR
In the extremely rare case that you lose a satellite signal, MSC 10 will
seamlessly transition from GPS-based to magnetometer-based heading3.
