What are the different types of compass and their uses?
From what I know, there are three types of compasses. There is the original chines compass which is also known as the magnetic compass. there is also another compass called the gyrocompass. there's another one known as the astrocompass, and one also known as the box compass. ++++ It's a bit simpler than that. Magnetic compass, gyrocompass (which uses the inertia of a spinning flywheel) and electronic versions based on satellite navigation systems. The heading photo shows two magnetic compasses typical of those used by walkers & climbers.

What is courstal navigation?

A compass uses the property of to indicate direction.?

What companies use a compass as their logo?
NATO uses a compass
What are uses for a compass?

Are there any MEMS gyro compass?
There are compass systems using MEMS. MEMS means micro electromechanical systems. The MEMS compass system uses a vibrating structure gyroscope to operate. Most MEMS inertial navigation systems have integrated GPS. The very sophisticated ones are independent to prevent jamming, they use computers and an accelerometer as well as a MEMS gyroscope to operate.
How are sonar and radar different?
Sonar navigation uses sound waves; radar navigation uses electromagnetic waves (usually radio eaves).
What is true about the compass?
There are several different types of compass:magnetic compass, uses a light weight bar magnet on a pivotgyroscopic compass, uses a gyroscope (either mechanical or LASER ring)drawing compass, used to assist in drawing circles for drafting or artetc.
A compass uses what property?
Magnetic North.
What does a magnetic compass do?
It uses a magnetic needle to point to the earth's magnetic North Pole. The only other type of compass used is a gyro-compass. This uses a wheel which rotates parallel with the earth's rotation.
