{Magnetic Sensors; 3-axis compass modules}
"The earth's magnetic field is about 0.6 gauss in an open-air environment, and has a direction from the magnetic south pole to the magnetic north pole. This pointing to the north pole is the basis for magnetic compassing..... Two-axis magnetic compasses measure the horizontal vector components of the earth's magnetic field using two sensor elements in the horizontal plane but orthogonal to each other..... Three-axis magnetic compasses contain magnetic sensors in all three orthogonal vectors of an electronic compass assembly to capture the horizontal and vertical components of the earth's magnetic field......": Honeywell Inc.
