The Navigator 48 Celestial Gyro is the first Celestial Heading System for the Maritime Industry that outperforms the Gyro Compass.

Attitude is the technical term - one tenth of a degree of continuous heading accuracy at any latitude is the result. All of it using passive GPS receiving technology with no moving parts.

The size, weight, and performance for heading and rate information has not been seen on any except the most sophisticated fighter aircraft, but now is available in the Navigator 48 Celestial Navigation System.

The main limitations in making this the reality it is today have been computation time and the ability of the system to crunch the numbers supplied by 4 12-channel receivers which were tracking the same satellites simultaneously. The breakthrough has been made, and the results will make a single shipboard celestial navigator platform, The Navigator 48, the standard for vessel Position, Speed, and Heading anywhere in the world.
