Azimuth 1000 | Maritime Compasses

If you want a compass with the features, quality, and design that meet the needs of your commercial vessel, the KVH Azimuth 1000 is the compass system for you! By combining digital heading and the familiar compass rose on a large, heads-up display with an easy-to-use off-course mode, the Azimuth 1000 makes steering easy and precise – no matter how fast you’re going or how rough the seas.

Totally self-contained for easy installation and designed to military quality standards, the Azimuth 1000 was named “Best Electronic Compass” by the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) dealers for eight consecutive years. Azimuth 1000 is standard equipment on many leading brands of powerboats. Even the U.S. Navy approved the replacement of its ships’ magnetic card compasses with KVH digital compasses. The Azimuth 1000 can also provide heading data for use with radars, autopilots, plotters, and PC software through its fast,10 Hz NMEA 0183 output port.
