I just learned that Seacraft has an inertial navigation unit - the ENC3.
ENC3 | Seacraft
It has GPS, Compass, 3D gyroscope, and 3D accelerometers. The full kit to add to an existing scooter works out to USD$1600(-ish, converted from Euro).
It also has a speed sensor that you mount on your DPV and connect to it.
Supposedly, you can splash, do your dive (to a max of 300 meters depth!) and it will navigate you back to your entry point. I.e. serious submarine tech, now in scooter size!
Or, you can preload a track and it will guide you along it.
Do any of you have experience with this unit? Does it really work like they say? Does it have any "gotchas" that can mess up its ability to get you back to where you started?
If you splash from an anchored boat and drop down the anchor line to the bottom, all the while with your scooter clipped off and not being used, then fire it up and drive around some, park it some, swim with it some while its clipped off, and then eventually say "take me home", will it really, reliably get you there?
I also saw a video recently that Suex now also has something that does the same thing? (maybe it's the same unit?)
This sounds like a magic device! (so, I don't believe it....)
