The Gill Instruments MaxiMet Marine series (featuring the GMX260 and GMX560) is an ultra-compact, multi-parameter, solid-state weather station engineered specifically for commercial shipping vessels, offshore platforms, coastal buoys, and ports. Unlike land-based meteorological stations that rely on mechanical cups and vanes, the MaxiMet Marine utilises advanced solid-state ultrasonic technology. This design has zero moving parts to wear out, seize from salt crystallisation, or require constant physical recalibration, providing total environmental awareness in the harshest marine environments.
Depending on the scope of your vessel or offshore telemetry requirements, the MaxiMet Marine is split into two distinct, specialised hardware profiles. If your infrastructure already features independent temperature and barometric arrays and you solely require motion-corrected, high-accuracy wind tracking, the GMX260 Wind & Compass system provides a streamlined, dedicated solution. For operations requiring full, all-in-one meteorological awareness from a single mast footprint, the GMX560 Multi-Parameter system integrates an added multi-sensor suite to deliver real-time atmospheric pressure, temperature, and relative humidity along the same digital data line.

The MaxiMet GMX260 Marine is similar to the GMX200 with an improved environmental protection, IP68, 6-axis compass and M12 Connection. Allowing it to survive harsh weather conditions encountered by buoys and unmanned surface vessels, including short-term immersion and compensation for tilt with pitch and roll data. Wind speed and direction is measured using an ultrasonic sensor above the main housing. Outputs are available as RS232, RS485. SDI12, NMEA and MODBUS.
The MaxiMet GMX560 Marine is similar to the GMX500 with an improved environmental protection, IP68, 6-axis compass and M12 Connection. Allowing it to survive harsh weather conditions encountered by buoys and unmanned surface vessels, including short-term immersion and compensation for tilt with pitch and roll data. The combined instrument is mounted inside three double louvered, naturally aspirated radiation shields, taking ambient temperature, humidity and pressure readings. Wind speed and direction is measured using an ultrasonic sensor above the main housing. Outputs are available as RS232, RS485. SDI12, NMEA and MODBUS.
