Abstract:	This paper presents the results of the trials of master compasses Vega-M, Geus-M, Meridian and satellite compass MRK-11 received in the course of three cruises to the North Pole of the atomic icebreaker "Yamal" in summer 2003. In this document data of the comparative analysis of main operating parameters of the above-stated compasses also are represented. Methods of gyrocompass accuracy evaluation and some practical recommendations useful for operation in polar waters are given.
