Despite the wide use of GPS chartplotters and other complex electronics for sea navigation, good old marine compasses are still actual, and there are several strong reasons why. The main reason is that they offer a proven, most reliable method of aiding in following the right course. The loss of electrical power on the vessel is not so critical, as most compasses are mechanical and need just the Earth's magnetic field to operate. Besides, you don't have to rely on a satellite connection or deal with possible software failures.
However, a compass has to be properly installed, protected from occasional damage, and, if necessary, isolated from the metal parts of the hull. Most marine compasses are mounted on a gimbal that makes them stay in a horizontal plane even under heavy rolling and pitching. But anyway, this device has to be of high quality. Properly calibrated and filled with special fluid, it allows you to find the way at sea no matter what. A wide range of these great navigational tools is available on our virtual shelves. Offered in many stylish designs, they utilize different ways of mounting and may feature extra benefits such as a protective cover or LED night lighting.
