  • Undersea compass and pitch indicator
    Patent number: 10518851
    Abstract: Disclosed are a system and method for undersea navigation with a maritime vehicle or diver undersea navigation device. A sensor interface receives navigation information from a plurality of sensors used to sense navigation information. A processor receives the navigation information from the sensor interface. The processor converts the navigation information into graphics data. The processor provides the graphics data to a graphics processing unit to render a navigation board image on a display of the maritime vehicle or diver undersea navigation device. The navigation board image comprises a plurality of navigation indicators to indicate the navigation information and a compass comprising a plurality of rotational orientation indicators to indicate rotational orientation information. The rotational orientation indicators include a plurality of heading direction indicators, a current heading indicator, and a plurality of pitch indicators, where the plurality of pitch indicators indicate pitch information.
