The NAV-TRACKER 2.0 GPS Tracking System from Paradox Marine keeps owners or captains informed of a boat’s location through a GPS tracking service using the Inmarsat satellite network.
The system sets a 500 Meter geo-fence (radius) around the vessel when armed. In the event of geo-fence breach or if any of the optional sensors go into alarm mode, the system will send up to 4 emails or text messages with latitude, longitude, speed, heading and distance to closest city.
It will continue to send messages every 15 minutes until the vessel returns to the geo-fence area or the system is disarmed.
Optional sensors include door contacts, infrared beam sensors, deck pressure sensors, engine removal sensors and high water sensors. There is also an optional 130 decibel siren.
Some insurance companies now require GPS tracking devices to be installed on certain types of boats, including high performance boats and boats with multiple high-horsepower outboards.
