Elmer Ambrose Sperry was the inventor of the gyro compass and gyroscope.
Rather than type a long answer - see the related link from Wikipedia for their entry on a gyro-compass.
William Austin Burt invented the Solar Compass
It was invented it China
The first compass was invented around the year 1044. Modern liquid magnetic compasses stem from the mariners compass that was invented in Europe around 1190.
the magnetic compass was invented between 221-206 B.C . i hope my answer was useful and enjoy learning about the compass
A gyro compass is powered by electricity, typically from the ship's electrical system. The gyro compass relies on the principle of a continuously spinning gyroscope to maintain its orientation and provide accurate heading information.
A gyro compass consists of a spinning gyroscope, a compass card, and a correcting mechanism. The spinning gyroscope maintains its orientation in space and serves as the reference point for navigation. The compass card aligns with the gyro's axis to indicate the heading of the vessel. The correcting mechanism adjusts for errors due to the vessel's motion to provide accurate heading information.
a navigational compass, under the control of a gyroscope, that automatically indicates true north.
when airplanes suddenly change course the corrective mechanism is a gyroscope, which has the property of resisting efforts to change its axis of spin. This system is called a gyro-magnetic compass.
A gyro-meter is another name for a Gyroscope, which can be though of as similar to a toy top or dreidel, which is self balancing and spinning. It is used for measuring and maintaining a fixed orientation. The Gyroscope uses the gyro sensors to translate the physical position of the Gyroscope into data readable by the connected device.
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.
Gyroscope itself is not a prefix or a root word. Gyro- is the prefix. Scope is the root word.

Gyro repeater is an instrument used for taking bearings by the use of a gyro compass. It displays the heading information provided by the gyro compass, allowing for accurate and reliable navigation on a vessel.

Yes, the Switch Lite has a gyroscope and accelerometer.
It is a horizontal gyroscope employing a 2 degree-of-freedom gyroscope with its spin axis aligned with the earth's magnetic meridian
