"It's the downside of compact parts made for phones. A $5000 IMU that we're using right now has an error of +/- 2 degrees and in that range it seems to go crazy as well."

"Now, don't forget that the sensor gives you the bearing to Magnetic North, and not True North!"

You said it compensated for local declination. It apparently does not.
 Quoting: Menow 1394150


I don't know what the guy uses, but: my software compensates local declination not the phone. And there are millions of different phones out there. Do you really believe all of them ar having the same compass hardware?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19016521


Where did I indicate I believe anything like that? Of course it would be the software *IF* there was compensation for declination. From what I found, there have been lots of problems with Android phones and compass accuracy.
