The intermediate compass system includes Maretron’s solid state compass (SSC300), which provides magnetic heading information. This system also includes a GPS antenna/receiver (GPS200) which provides magnetic variation based on the vessel’s position. The magnetic variation is combined with the magnetic heading within the display to provide the user with true heading.

The following table shows the products included within this example system plus a list of the information or data available for display.

Product	Description	Available Data List
DSM250	Helm pod display	Displays data in this list, monitors the data and if there is a problem will sound an internal buzzer.
GPS200	Cabin top GPS	Position, speed over ground, course over ground, time, date, magnetic variation and more
SSC300	Compass	Monitors magnetic heading, rate of turn and pitch and roll
