SC-70 SATELLITE COMPASS

​The Furuno SC-70 is a high-precision GNSS-based satellite compass. It reliably produces vessel movement data such as heading, course (COG), speed (SOG), rate of turn (ROT), as well as fore and aft (3-axis) speeds, pitch, roll, and heave using GPS, Galileo, and GLONASS satellites. It is an ideal solution for radar, ECDIS, AIS, Doppler sonar, and autopilot systems. It is suitable for small to medium-sized vessels.
