Foundations of the magnetic compass, deviation, correction, and practical application — taught in a technically sound, precise, and practical manner.
The magnetic compass is the primary navigation instrument on board — independent of electronics, power supply, or GPS. This module covers the fundamentals of the magnetic compass, the origin and significance of deviation, and methods for correction and practical use. It is designed for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of classical and reliable navigation.
The module covers all essential foundations and procedures related to the magnetic compass:
The module is clearly structured and adapted to the participant’s level of knowledge:
