Solid-state, digital compass

What are the key features of the RoboSail Thetys™ compass?

- Accuracy near that of an expensive gyro-stabilized compass
- At the price of a standard fluxgate compass!
- Available in three versions, allowing you to pick the digital compass best suited for your needs.
- Easy installation procedure

   

The revolutionary RoboSail Thetys™ Compass by RoboSail systems is the first solid-state, digital compass in the world. Combining the accuracy of an expensive gyro compass with the energy-saving and easy-to-use properties of a normal fluxgate compass, the RoboSail Thetys Compass™ delivers more for less.

The RoboSail Thetys™ Compass features state-of-the-art magnetic motion sensors and a powerful embedded processor to always calculate the correct course, even under the most severe circumstances. It has no moving parts and is therefore both extremely robust and energy efficient.
