KODEN KGC-300 IMO GPS COMPASS
The GNSS backbone for NVIC 01-16 compliant electronic navigation
Confident electronic navigation starts with trusted heading and position.
The Koden KGC-300 IMO GPS Compass delivers the high-integrity THD/GNSS data your ECS/ECDIS and AIS depend on—so you can move toward NVIC 01-16 electronic chart and publication use with confidence.
Key performance highlights
IMO-certified THD & GPS navigator:
Provides approved True Heading and GNSS position for SOLAS and workboat applications.
High-accuracy heading & position:
Heading accuracy to 0.5° rms, GNSS position to 3 m (DGPS), with fast, stable tracking.
Redundant safety design:
Built‑in electronic backup sensor maintains heading output if GNSS is temporarily blocked (bridges, cranes, high structures).
Data for the whole bridge:
Up to 5 heading data output ports, feeding ECS/ECDIS, radar, AIS, autopilot, VDR and more.
Modern, sunlight-viewable display:
4.3" high‑resolution color LCD with clear heading, ROT, nav data and POB display modes.
Standards-based integration:
IEC 61162‑1/2 and NMEA 0183 output sentences for easy drop‑in to existing bridge networks.
NVIC 01-16 & electronic chart carriage
Build your NVIC 01-16 solution on solid data.
When you move from paper charts to official electronic charts and publications under NVIC 01-16, your ECS/ECDIS and AIS rely on one thing above all: reliable, standards-compliant heading and GNSS position.
The KGC-300 helps you:
Support NVIC 01-16 electronic chart use:
By providing stable THD and GNSS data to RTCM‑class ECS/ECDIS solutions used in lieu of paper charts.
Improve situational awareness:
Accurate heading, ROT and position data enhance track-keeping, route monitoring and alarm functions on compliant ECS/ECDIS.
Simplify compliance upgrades:
IMO-certified GPS compass plus navigator in one unit reduces boxes, cabling and integration complexity when refitting for electronic carriage.
Position it this way to your customers:
“Your NVIC 01-16 electronic chart system is only as good as the heading and GNSS feeding it. The Koden KGC-300 gives that system the accuracy, redundancy and approvals it needs.”
Ideal for
Tugs, workboats and OSVs upgrading to electronic charts
Coastal cargo and passenger vessels modernizing bridge systems
