Enhanced GPS-Based Heading for Superior Navigation

The Garmin MSC™ 10 Marine Satellite Compass delivers exceptional heading accuracy and positioning, ensuring precise navigation in marine environments. Designed for seamless integration into your vessel’s systems, this high-performance GPS-based compass provides a reliable heading solution, free from magnetic interference. Whether you are cruising at high speeds or navigating through challenging waters, the built-in attitude and heading reference system ensures smooth and accurate GPS-derived heading.

High-Precision Positioning and Multi-Band GNSS Support

Equipped with a multi-band GNSS receiver, the MSC™ 10 utilizes L1 and L5 GPS signals to provide highly accurate positioning within 1 meter. This advanced satellite tracking capability enhances overall navigational precision, reducing errors and improving reliability. The compass also supports multiple satellite constellations, enabling faster and more consistent positioning for enhanced performance in varying conditions.

Reliable Backup with Magnetometer-Based Heading

In the event of satellite signal loss, the MSC™ 10 seamlessly transitions to magnetometer-based heading (with calibration required), ensuring continuous and dependable navigation. This backup functionality guarantees uninterrupted performance, making it a robust solution for all marine navigation needs.

Seamless Integration with Marine Systems

Designed for easy installation and compatibility, the MSC™ 10 integrates effortlessly with Garmin’s marine ecosystem via the NMEA 2000® network. This allows for real-time heading and heave data display on your chartplotter, as well as use as a primary sensor for autopilots and other onboard systems that rely on precise heading information.

Simple Installation with No Calibration Required

The compact and user-friendly design ensures a straightforward installation process with no calibration necessary—except when using the magnetometer-based heading function. The device’s plug-and-play setup simplifies integration, reducing setup time and effort.
