Marine gyros are integral to autopilot systems, providing the necessary heading information to allow vessels to navigate autonomously. The gyro feeds accurate heading data into the autopilot system, enabling the vessel to maintain its course without manual intervention. This is particularly useful for long voyages where manual control is not feasible. By ensuring the autopilot can accurately follow the set course, marine gyros enhance the efficiency and safety of vessel navigation. The use of gyros in autopilot systems is a common practice for both commercial and recreational vessels.
