TRACKER 5507/5607

 Installation and Operation Manual

37

Water speed 10 knots

Current 4 knots

Gives a ground speed of 6 knots

10-5-2 Water speed and ground speed

A paddlewheel sensor and a pitot sensor 
measure water speed, the boat speed through 
the water. A GPS measures ground speed, the 
boat speed over the bottom of the water. If 
there is a current, then these speeds will be 
different, and the log, trip log, economy and 
range will be different, as shown below. 

Water speed is better for measuring the boat’s 
potential performance, Ground speed is better 
for going to a destination because it takes 
currents into account. To select a speed sensor, 
see section 10-5-1.

When the current is from ahead, ground speed is less than water speed

For this example:
If the boat travels for one hour, uses 3 gallons of fuel per hour and has 50 gallons of fuel left:

When the current is from behind, ground speed is more than water speed
