Precision heading for every environment.

Laser Heading Transfer

Featuring a calibrated inline laser module, NovaCompass transfers calculated heading values instantly to other devices. This function is particularly effective for aligning headings across equipment, creating precise wall or floor references in surveying and mining applications.

Web Application

The intuitive web-based interface allows you to track azimuth estimates and initiate sampling runs directly from any WiFi-enabled device. Generate PDF reports with uncertainties, making data collection and sharing straightforward and precise.

Why Not GPS?

GPS often struggles in environments with poor signal access, such as underground mines, dense forests, or urban canyons with tall buildings. This results in significant downtime and imprecise readings for surveyors and engineers. NovaCompass eliminates this pain point by calculating true North through advanced gyrocompassing technology, which is independent of satellite signals. It ensures uninterrupted, accurate azimuth calculations no matter where you are, saving valuable time and improving productivity.

What About Magnetic North?

Traditional magnetic compasses are highly susceptible to interference from environmental factors, such as nearby metal structures, electrical fields, or natural magnetic anomalies. These inaccuracies often force surveyors to repeat measurements or use cumbersome recalibration processes. NovaCompass solves this issue by bypassing magnetic reliance altogether. Using gyroscopic stabilization and proprietary algorithms, it provides true North calculations with precision, even in the most magnetically disrupted areas. No recalibration is required, ensuring consistent results and a smoother workflow.
