SI-TEX Vector Pro G2 SAT Compass - NMEA 0183 & N2K Compatible
Description
The SI-TEX Vector Pro G2 GPS Compass delivers superior heading and positioning performance for professional and commercial marine applications. Built around GPS's proven Crescent Vector board, this half-meter smart antenna integrates two multipath-resistant antennas into a single rugged enclosure for reliable, interference-resistant performance on the water. The compact design mounts easily to a flat surface or pole, making installation straightforward whether you're retrofitting an existing vessel or outfitting a new build.
IMO Wheelmarked for commercial use, the Vector Pro G2 meets the rigorous standards demanded by professional mariners and fleet operators alike. Its maintenance-free, solid-state design replaces traditional gyrocompasses at a fraction of the cost - with no moving parts, no warm-up time, and no ongoing calibration. With both NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 (N2K) compatibility, it integrates seamlessly into virtually any modern navigation system.

Why You'll Love It
The Vector Pro G2 is trusted by commercial operators and professional mariners who demand dependable heading data without the complexity of legacy gyrocompass systems. Its IMO Wheelmark certification gives fleet managers and vessel operators the confidence of knowing it meets the highest international standards for commercial navigation. The plug-and-play NMEA 0183 and N2K compatibility means it works with the navigation hardware you already own - no proprietary adapters or complicated integration required. Engineered for years of maintenance-free service, the solid-state design eliminates the costly servicing intervals that come with traditional gyrocompasses. Whether you're running a commercial fishing vessel, ferry, or patrol boat, the Vector Pro G2 is the professional-grade compass solution that delivers day after day, season after season.
What is the difference between NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 (N2K)?
NMEA 0183 is an older serial communication standard that connects devices one-to-one using simple wiring. NMEA 2000 (N2K) is a newer, faster network-based protocol that allows multiple devices to communicate over a single backbone. The Vector Pro G2 supports both, making it compatible with a wide range of chart plotters, autopilots, and display systems regardless of their age or manufacturer.
Can this replace my existing gyrocompass?
Yes - the Vector Pro G2 is specifically designed to replace traditional gyrocompasses. It provides accurate heading and positioning data without the mechanical complexity, warm-up time, or maintenance requirements of a conventional gyrocompass, and it does so at a significantly lower cost. Its IMO Wheelmark certification also makes it suitable for commercial vessels that require certified navigation equipment.
What does IMO Wheelmark certification mean?
IMO Wheelmark certification indicates that the equipment has been tested and approved to meet the standards set by the International Maritime Organization for use in commercial marine applications. It is a mandatory certification for navigation equipment installed on many types of commercial vessels, ensuring the product meets international safety and performance requirements.
How difficult is installation?
The Vector Pro G2 is designed for straightforward installation. The half-meter smart antenna mounts to a flat surface or pole, and the included 15M cable provides plenty of reach for routing to your navigation station. Because all processing is contained within the single unit and it uses standard NMEA protocols, most experienced marine electronics installers can complete the installation quickly without special tools or proprietary equipment.
Does the Vector Pro G2 require any ongoing calibration or maintenance?
No. The solid-state, maintenance-free design means there are no moving parts to service and no periodic calibration procedures required. This is one of the key advantages over traditional gyrocompasses, which require regular maintenance and calibration to maintain accuracy.
