Hemisphere GPS Expands OEM Agreement with ComNav for Vector G1 GPS Satellite Compass

Based on Hemisphere GPS' patented Crescent® Vector™II technology, Vector G1 calculates reliable heading accuracy of 0.75 degree and 60 centimeter positioning with SBAS corrections while providing heave, pitch, and roll output messages through an integrated tilt sensor and gyro system. Vector G1 supports both NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 interface standards making it compatible with all connectivity standards found on today's vessels.

Hemisphere GPS' commitment to innovation has advanced the precision and reliability of our autopilot and AIS systems for safe marine navigation, says Shafiq Gulamani, President of ComNav Marine Ltd. The Vector G1 GPS Satellite compass is a unique product that gives our customers unmatched accuracy in an extremely small package.

Today ComNav unveiled the new Vector G1 GPS satellite compass at the Marine Equipment Trade Show (METS) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Hemisphere GPS will ship Vector G1 GPS compasses to ComNav in volume beginning early in the first quarter of 2011.

We are pleased to expand our relationship with ComNav, says Phil Gabriel, Vice President of Precision Products for Hemisphere GPS. ComNav is a valuable OEM customer of Hemisphere GPS and we are proud to have our technology integrated into their precision autopilot solutions.
