Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is a Gyrocompass and how does it work?

A gyrocompass is a type of non-magnetic compass which uses a fast-spinning disc and the rotation of the Earth to find true north.

2. What's the difference between a magnetic compass and a gyrocompass?

A magnetic compass points to magnetic north, while a gyrocompass points to true north, unaffected by surrounding magnetic fields.

We recommend a full service and calibration every 12 months or as specified by the manufacturer.
