The Autonnic Compass Pick-Up Sensor converts magnetic data from an existing yacht compass into NMEA 0183 format. Fully waterproof and supplied with a 4m cable, it allows integration with onboard instruments, navigation systems, and can also measure rudder or trim tab angles without installing a standalone compass.
The Autonnic Compass Pick-Up Sensor is designed to take the magnetic heading data from an existing marine compass and convert it into NMEA 0183 output, enabling use across a variety of onboard instruments and navigation systems. This solution eliminates the need for a separate compass unit, reducing both cost and installation complexity.
Originally developed for larger vessels where the ship’s compass serves as a precisely calibrated reference for all certified navigation systems, the Pick-Up Sensor ensures accurate heading data without altering existing setups.
