    Hank,

    ·· How far away from other magnetic fields is the Compass?· High high up is it?· Is it subject to a lot of vibration and motion/tilting?

    Hank,

    ·· But you didn't mention about the magnetic fields and how close the device was to your motors?· Also, to what degree of accuracy are you getting?· It may well be within what we've specified the device for.
