The gyrocompass provides numerous advantages over a magnetic compass. It operates independently of magnetic fields, making it highly accurate and reliable in all geographical locations, including polar regions where magnetic compasses fail. Gyrocompasses also support advanced integration with radar, ECDIS, and autopilot systems, enabling precise course control. While magnetic compasses are affected by deviation and require calibration, gyrocompasses offer real-time accuracy, enhancing operational safety and efficiency on board.
