Hemisphere’s all-in-one Vector™ GNSS compass solutions provide precise heading and positioning for IMO (International Maritime Organization)-wheelmarked applications, hydrographic surveying vessels, fishing vessels, leisure boats, work boats, and other general marine navigation applications.

The rugged and reliable design of these compasses are ideal solutions to replace traditional gyrocompasses, at a fraction of the cost. Combining Hemisphere’s single and multi-frequency technologies and multipath-resistant antennas, the Vector compasses bring a collection of robust features including heave, pitch, and roll output as well as NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 support.

Hemisphere’s integrated technologies and hardware supply marine applications in three market segments:

1. Professional: dredging and survey projects requiring up to 2 to 10-cm positioning accuracy and up to 0.01-degree (or better) heading accuracy
2. Commercial: dredging projects and commercial navigation that necessitate sub-meter positioning accuracy and up to 0.5-degree heading accuracy
3. Recreational: yachting and other general marine applications which need 1 to 2-degree heading accuracy and 1 to 2 m accuracy for positioning

Hemisphere’s Atlas® is an innovative service that delivers correction signals via L-band satellites at scalable accuracies ranging from sub-meter to sub-decimeter levels. Leveraging more than 200 reference stations worldwide and L-band satellites distributing corrections, virtually all the earth’s landmass has coverage. Atlas support is available on all Atlas-capable Hemisphere single and multi-frequency, multi-GNSS hardware.

Using multi-frequency hardware, Atlas corrects all GNSS satellites to provide fast convergence times and allowing extremely robust and reliable usage near wharfs, piers, offshore rigs, cranes, and other overhead obstructions.
