ABSTRACT:
An azimuth measuring device is provided that can obtain offset information when the direction of the azimuth measuring device is arbitrarily changed. The offset information is calculated based on coordinates of a reference point obtained by a reference point estimating system. The azimuth measuring device can obtain the offset information without obtaining erroneous offset information when changing direction.
