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.
