Satellite Compass
Heading, pitch and roll from multi-antenna GNSS, free from magnetic interference, drift and gyro maintenance.
Satellite Compass
A satellite compass uses multiple GNSS receivers to provide highly accurate heading, pitch, roll and position data. It eliminates magnetic interference entirely, improving navigation precision, autopilot performance and vessel control, with no moving parts to wear out.
Ideal as a primary heading source on smaller tonnage or as a robust backup/heading reference alongside a gyro on SOLAS vessels.
