Tokimec Gyro Compass – Precision Marine Navigation by SEANAV

The Tokimec Gyro Compass is a trusted and proven navigation instrument, widely used across commercial, defense, and research vessels for precise heading detection. Unlike traditional magnetic compasses, it determines true north by leveraging the Earth’s rotation and high-speed gyroscopic principles. This makes it highly reliable in any magnetic environment, ensuring navigational accuracy at sea.
