Distinct features of this new compass module product include:
• Azimuth angle, true or magnetic
• Pitch and roll (tilt) angle
• 1 degree accuracy
• Built-in magnetic compensation functions and
• Small footprint, low power, light weight.

Advanced dead reckoning technology for the TruePointâ„¢ Compass Module combines data from three silicon magnetometers and three MEMS accelerometers to provide compass azimuth as well as pitch and roll angle. The World Magnetic Module is built-in so that the compass can automatically provide compass azimuth referenced to true north. Data collection is automatic and users can monitor their progress and effectiveness of corrections using a Honeywell software test program.
