The Boltek LD-250 Mobile Detection Kit is a specialized lightning detection system designed for real-time monitoring of lightning activity while on the move. It is particularly suited for use in vehicles or marine vessels, providing immediate alerts and visual mapping of lightning strikes up to 300 miles (480 km) away.
The LDGPS receiver will adjust the heading while driving so that strikes are still plotted correctly when the vehicle is not facing north.
For use on a boat, the LDCMP (electronic compass) is required so that the heading does not change when moving laterally.
