The invention relates to a fluxgate magnetometer type device in which the directions and relative magnitudes of the components of the Earth's magnetic field, lying parallel to the longitudinal and to the transverse axes of the vehicle in which the device is mounted, are measured and used to calculate the heading of the vehicle with respect to magnetic north. The manner in which the components of the Earth's magnetic field are measured and the computing process used makes the device simple, inexpensive to manufacture and easy to calibrate.
