PinPoint's Marinized
Computing System
PinPoint Systems International's
SVS/DVS systems have an "open archi- tecture" design, which means all types of computer peripherals can be inter- faced. The self-contained electronic charting systems incorporate a fully marinized Intel Pentium computer and a military specification internal hard drive. The sunlight and daylight view- able screens are precise full-color TFT displays. The software automatically loads charts and accesses positioning data, and automatically finds the best scale chart for the vessel's position.

NovAtel Offers GPS Antenna
NovAtel presented its new GPS 600
Series Antenna recently. Created as the
GPS industry's premiere dual frequency antenna to achieve less than 1 mm offset between L1 and L2 phase centers with- out the aid of a choke ring, the new 600 series antenna can reach this level by replacing conventional patch antenna designs with NovAtel's patent pending
Pinwheel Technology. Measuring 6.5- in. and weighing 600 grams, the antenna is compact — making it ideal for portable applications, such as surveying.
