A marine gyro is an essential component in modern marine navigation systems, providing accurate heading information for vessels. Unlike traditional magnetic compasses, a gyrocompass is unaffected by external magnetic fields and is capable of maintaining a true north reference. This makes it particularly important for large ships, yachts, and other marine vessels that require precise navigation in all conditions. The marine gyro uses a spinning rotor and sophisticated sensors to detect the Earth’s rotation, offering a stable reference for steering and course correction.
