GPS Placement

[bwells]

In a brushless boat, does the location of the GPS affect the readings when placed next to the motor and ESC?

[bwells]

Any thoughts? Thanks

Not in my experience, just make sure nothing besides tha hatch is above it to block the signal. It is a good idea to place the GPS on the CG so that the boat's trim is not effected.

Okay. I do put it in a ziplock bag but I'm getting a reading that I do not buy. Trying to come up with a reason. Thanks

Is it consistently off or just a one time bad reading? They do occasionally give false readings.

Don't put any metal over the antenna as this give a false reading. The clearer the view of the sky the better. Take the gps for a run in your car & compare speeds & distance. This will tell your if it is out or not.

Yeah, I did that in 2 different vehicles and it appears to be right on as well as matching those roadside radar speed things. It was only a one time thing. Just trying to cover all the bases. Thanks
