Honeywell Unveils New TruePoint™ Digital Compass Module with Dead Reckoning Technology

Honeywell announced the unveiling of their new high performance TruePoint™ 3-Axis digital Compass Module with Dead Reckoning Technology providing accurate navigation in today’s most challenging environment.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) October 26, 2005 -- Honeywell announced the unveiling of their new high performance TruePoint™ 3-Axis digital Compass Module with Dead Reckoning Technology providing accurate navigation in today’s most challenging environment. TruePoint™ can be mounted and used in any orientation making it ideal for applications like land and maritime navigation, laser rangefinders, robotic vehicles and antenna alignment. This compass module can automatically provide compass azimuth referenced to true north.

Distinct features of this new compass module product include:

•    Azimuth angle, true or magnetic

•    Pitch and roll (tilt) angle

•    1 degree accuracy

•    Built-in magnetic compensation functions and

•    Small footprint, low power, light weight.

Advanced dead reckoning technology for the TruePoint™ Compass Module combines data from three silicon magnetometers and three MEMS accelerometers to provide compass azimuth as well as pitch and roll angle. The World Magnetic Module is built-in so that the compass can automatically provide compass azimuth referenced to true north. Data collection is automatic and users can monitor their progress and effectiveness of corrections using a Honeywell software test program.
