The Garmin 19X HVS GPS 2J5059610 was deployed on 2021-08-17 at Placentia Bay. Placentia Bay is a large, deep bay on the southeast coast of Newfoundland. To the west is the Burin Peninsula while the eastern shore is formed by the Avalon Peninsula. This device is a Navigation System. Navigational instruments are used to measure and record positional information of ships, buoys, and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Typical sensors include latitude, longitude, speed, heading, pitch, roll, and depth. It was deployed on a mobile platform. Data from this deployment were archived and made available through Ocean Networks Canada's Oceans 3.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.
