mischief 3 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Howdy.... anyone had any real world experience with one of these? https://vakaros.com/products/atlas2?gclid=CjwKCAjwo7iiBhAEEiwAsIxQEaQhS1LqxOZxxsVX2jB_FzAJ3XXAx1DR8e9v4Cp_N94hrHOvndfEyRoCEsIQAvD_BwE need to replace my speedo (the old navman s100 finally gave up). All I've got is a raymarine a series MFD downstairs with no network at all at the moment. Was thinking of adding a raymarine i70, but would also need to build a network to add it so ends up being reasonably cost neutral. I will add a speed transducer in time as well (probably the airmar dst810 with the wireless capability) but not keen yet as the boat has only recently been out of the water (typical) the ultrasonic wind sensor also looks like an interesting addition, but seems to be mixed views on those. any thoughts/advice? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southernman 73 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 We have one. Works well. Only thing i'd say is that it's not a replacement for a Raymarine / chartplotter really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if wait times are still an issue for the Vakaros ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1paulg 17 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I have the Ultrasonic wind sensor - been pretty happy with it- compact and no moving parts... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adrianp 119 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Paul, how do you compensate for mast rotation? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
