Gyrocompasses and satellite compasses provide accurate true north heading reference independent of magnetic interference. EKS Marine Electronics offers sales, installation, maintenance and repair of all major gyrocompass and satellite compass systems.
A gyrocompass is a non-magnetic compass that uses a fast-spinning gyroscope to align with Earth's rotational axis, providing true north heading regardless of magnetic interference from the vessel's own steel structure or cargo.
Satellite compasses use multiple GNSS antennas to determine heading by measuring the precise position difference between antennas. They offer fast settling times, no moving parts, and immunity to magnetic disturbances.
EKS Marine Electronics is authorized service provider for Anschütz (Raytheon Anschütz), Tokyo Keiki, Yokogawa, and Tokimec gyrocompass systems—among the most trusted names in marine heading reference systems.
