Question
Asked by: Bruce Godsmark
Subject: North Seeking Gyro
Question: How does a "North seeking gyro" actually seek true north?

How is this different to a "standard gyro".

When we've used gyro before they have required a surveyor to put in a reference line for the gyro to be callibrated.

A new tool has been found which claims to be "north seeking" and does not need surveyors to mark up any reference line.
