Fixing iPhone Compass Errors

Has anyone ever thought that all these reported compass errors might not be related to compass calibration at all?


Most are probably “residual (after calibration) azimuth deviation errors”.


I just posted a new blog “Fixing Smartphone Compass Errors”. The metyworks!

While not sure about “all these compass errors” to which you’re referring … ???


If it’s the blog I just looked at, (lots of orange) it’s kinda “Sunline Surveying 101”


Not meant as a harsh criticism - DO recognize that it’s an ongoing work-in-progress - but it only covered the initial setup.


Although “teased” toward the end, when do you anticipate revealing “what to do about it” after the comparisons are “shot” and deviations calculated?
