The difference of the SC-1 to a conventional magnetic compass is that the SC-1 measures the direction the device is moving in rather than the direction it is pointed in. A major benefit of the SC-1 over a conventional magnetic compass is that it will give you accurate heading information, regardless of the orientation in which it is mounted on your boat. -
