The azimuth compass is used to indicate the bow direction of a ship, and the ship's bow direction (bowdirection) referred to here is also known as the heading, which is determined by the electric compass andtransmitted electrically relative to the geographical north direction of the ship's bow and stern line, regardless of the installation location of the electric compass. The direction of the bow and stern lines relative to the geomagnetic north is determined by the magnetic compass and transmitted electrically, regardless of the installation location of the magnetic compass. There are two ways for the 19-F azimuth compass to indicate heading: analog (dial) display and digital display. The lighting brightness of the monitor is adjusted by the buttons on the side of the housing.

The CGT-165 projection magnetic compass is designed and manufactured according to Chinese standard GB/T14108-2011 "Marine A-class magnetic compass general technical conditions", the performance is fully in line with ISO and IMO Navigation device requirements and standards. It has clear and bright projection dial. It is characterized by high precision and stable performance, and can be used for a long time under severe conditions. In generally, the characteristics are summarized as follows:

The compass is an instrument that provides a direction reference. The ship is used to determine the course and the orientation of the observed object. There are two types of compasses: magnetic compass and gyro compass. Generally, sea ships are equipped with magnetic compass and gyro compass at the same time. The former is simple and reliable, and the latter is convenient and accurate to use.

It is well known that the compass is an indispensable tool for ship navigation, This product can withstand changes in the wind and the surrounding environment and bring more reference to the surrounding navigation. It can also ensure navigation with better geomagnetic orientation and safety.
