The Vector Sensor features two GPS receivers inside one enclosure, and each of two multipath-resistant antennas in separate enclosures. Increasing the distance between the antennas increases heading accuracy. With the antennas two meters apart, compared to the half-metre antenna separation available with the PRO, the Vector Sensor computes heading information with better than 0.15 degrees accuracy - matching or exceeding the accuracy of competitors’ products while being significantly more affordable.

The ability to adjust the antennas’ separation gives the Vector Sensor more versatility and the potential for higher performance. It is designed for the “machine control” market, including agriculture, heavy construction equipment, mining equipment, cranes, and any other equipment and industries for which accurate headings are essential.

The Vector Sensor, besides providing accurate headings with GPS signals, also delivers sub-metre DGPS positioning accuracy when using decoded correction data. The Vector PRO is capable of receiving differentially corrected data from land-based Coast Guard beacon stations and from Space Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) such as the U.S. Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), the European GPS Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS), and Japan's MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS).

Vector products are capable of outputting five differentially corrected GPS positions per second, and 10 heading information corrections per second. Vectors products also have integrated MEMS (micro electro mechanical systems) sensors to assist in the rapid, robust acquisition of GPS satellite signals. And during periods of differential signal outage, Vector products use CSI Wireless’ unique COAST™ technology that accurately predicts how errors change over time, and that results in accurate positioning for up to 40 minutes or more.
