Unlike a standard GPS antenna that provides position only, the SC-60 satellite compass uses a multi-antenna array to calculate both vessel position and heading from GPS signals — delivering accurate, GPS-derived heading data that is completely immune to the magnetic interference that affects traditional fluxgate and magnetic compasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis makes it the preferred heading source for vessels operating near large steel structures, in high-latitude regions where magnetic variation is significant, or on commercial vessels where compass accuracy is critical for autopilot, radar overlay, and AIS target tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the GPS antenna assembly only.

The SC-60 system is most commonly found on commercial fishing vessels, larger cruising yachts, and workboats where GPS-based heading is required for accurate radar overlay, autopilot performance, and AIS target display. If you’re experiencing heading errors on a vessel with significant steel structure, high-latitude magnetic variation, or interference from onboard electronics, a satellite compass is the correct long-term solution — and this antenna assembly is the sensor at the heart of the SC-60 system. Confirm all required SC-60 system components before ordering to ensure a complete installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The antenna array must be mounted with a clear, unobstructed sky view and oriented correctly relative to the vessel’s centreline per the SC-60 installation guide. Precise mounting alignment is critical for accurate heading output.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEstimated Packaging: Box approximately 14\" × 10\" × 6\" (36 × 25 × 15 cm), approx. 2 kg shipped.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WEST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43943845560356,"sku":"FUR-004-382-480","price":1821.4,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/5689a761-7f0e-4070-a94e-8a63c695737d.png?v=1783993546","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/furuno-sc-60-gps-antenna-assembly-gsc-001-satellite-compass-004-382-480","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
