Why does the heading coming from the SSC200 appear to be in error?
The SSC200 measures the Earth's magnetic field and before it will provide an accurate heading, it must understand how the Earth's magnetic field is affected (or deviates from normal) due to the ferrous metals found on the vessel. Fortunatel... Read More
What is magnetic deviation?
The Earth's magnetic field is distorted or deviates from normal in the presents of ferrous material. These distortions or deviations can be compensated for within magnetic compasses by calibrating them to account for this magnetic deviation.... Read More
