WARNING
The Watersnake Geo Spot motor relies on GPS technology to operate in
its different modes, including anchor, pilot, cruise, and navigation. It is
essential that the person controlling the vessel and Geo Spot motor is alert
to all navigation dangers and safety risks that may arise during the motor’s
operation in each mode; it is this person’s primary responsibility to ensure
vessel and occupant safety, regardless of whether the Geo Spot motor is in
GPS or non-GPS mode.
COMMON ISSUES WITH GPS SYSTEMS
Wrong installation:
An incorrectly installed GPS can lead to problems.
Careful checks as you follow all installation steps are vital to ensure the correct
operation of the system.
User error:
Human errors can happen. Remain Alert. Circumstances may
change, affecting the operation when in GPS mode. For example, vessels may
enter an area during use after a Track is recorded or a Mark is set.
Atmospherics:
Satellite signals can be affected by irregular activity in the
earth’s atmosphere.
Deliberate acts:
Jamming, spoofing and hacking can affect the GPS signal.
Local issues:
In some locations, the availability and quality of GPS signals can
cause issues. Errors can also be expected when satellite signals hit structures
or are shielded by higher ground, cliffs or mountains.
