Product Overview
Vector Compact - S Worlds Smallest GPS Compass with NMEA 0183
Interconnect Cable
The Vector Compact GPS Compass offers superior navigation including accurate positioning and heading performance. V104 uses SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, etc.) for differential GPS position allowing Hemisphere GNSS to provide a low cost and highly effective positioning and heading based smart antenna.
The rugged and low-profile enclosure combines Hemisphere GNSS' Crescent Vector technology and two multi-path resistant antennas for accuracy, portability and simple installation. The smart antenna, measuring in less than a half meter in length, mounts easily to a flat surface or pole. The stability and maintenace-free design of Vector Compact provides traditional GPS position and heading at a low cost, replacing the combination of
low-accuracy GPS and fluxgate compass.
