ABSTRACT:
A magnetic compass system in which an output signal indication is produced of true heading. An electronic navigation receiver such as a Loran or Omega receiver is employed to provide sequential indications of present position which are processed to produce a signal representing the average course made good for a selected heading. The course made good signal is processed with a signal indication of magnetic compass heading to correct for deviation and variation errors and yield an output signal representing true heading.
