ABSTRACT:
A mobile device or the like having a 3-axis electronic compass is rotated, and the outputs from magnetic sensors disposed in the three axis directions are input to a first arithmetic processing unit (11) so as to obtain the magnetic data X, Y, and Z. By inputting the magnetic data X, Y, and Z to a second arithmetic processing unit (12), gains Gx and Gz can be obtained. A control unit (16) generates access codes x0and z0corresponding to the gains Gx and Gz. The correspondence between the access codes x0and z0and inclination angle (pitch angle) α or between the gains Gx and Gz and inclination angle (pitch angle) α is tabulated and stored in a memory unit (17). The control unit (16) accesses the memory unit (17) so as to obtain an inclination angle (pitch angle) α0corresponding to the access codes x0and z0.
