Velocitek just release their new tactical compass called the Shift.
New release Velocitek Shift
The Shift uses a combination of solid-state accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetic sensors to completely track the orientation of your boat in 3 dimensions. The result is aerospace-grade heading indication that is smoother and more responsive than any other tactical compass on the market.
Big numbers and bold arrows make it easy to see how much you’re headed or lifted.
Have a look at the video to see what it is about.
