The Vector Compact GPS Compass offers superior navigation including accurate positioning and heading performance. V104 uses SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, etc.) for differential GPS position allowing Hemisphere GNSS to provide a low cost and highly effective positioning and heading based smart antenna.

The rugged and low-profile enclosure combines Hemisphere GNSS' Crescent Vector technology and two multi-path resistant antennas for accuracy, portability and simple installation. The smart antenna, measuring in less than a half meter in length, mounts easily to a flat surface or pole. The stability and maintenace-free design of Vector Compact provides traditional GPS position and heading at a low cost, replacing the combination of low-accuracy GPS and fluxgate compass.
