The invention relates to devices which vectorially sum the output signals from two magnetometers on an aircraft to produce a signal which is indicative of the error in the heading of the aircraft. This error in heading signal is used either by the pilot or an automatic control system to correct the heading. The device for generating a signal indicative of the difference between the actual heading and the selected heading of a vehicle is described.
