How Much Can a Satellite Compass Improve Your Navigation?
The satellite compass uses the frequency and phase of the GPS carrier to determine the true course of the carrier, so its performance is not affected by speed, latitude and longitude, and the geomagnetic field. Compared with traditional equipment such as magnetic compass and electronic compass, it has high accuracy, no drift. Important advantages are zero maintenance and zero calibration.
. The SC90 is a satellite compass that uses advanced GPS technology, which can be widely used in various ships. Radar/ARPA, AIS, electronic charts, scanning sonar, and autopilots can all utilize the capabilities of this system. Because the SC90 uses GPS carrier frequency to determine the heading direction, its performance is not affected by ship speed, latitude and longitude, and geomagnetic field, etc., and the position acquisition is fast, and the ship’s rudder tracking performance reaches up to 90°/s (SOLAS stipulates that the minimum for high-speed ships is 20°/s).
2. The satellite compass transmits GPS position information, SOG (speed over ground), COG (course over ground), and ROT (rate of turn). It meets the requirements for high-speed data transmission in specific environments.
Directional accuracy. You consume less fuel when traveling from point to point, both with manual steering and using the autopilot, because you have a nearly error-free heading system. This information can be applied to all navigation systems, from autopilots to radar, chart display and sonar. All require accurate heading information.
