GeomagneticField Class

Definition

Estimates magnetic field at a given point on Earth, and in particular, to compute the magnetic declination from true north.

Remarks

Estimates magnetic field at a given point on Earth, and in particular, to compute the magnetic declination from true north.

This uses the World Magnetic Model produced by the United States National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. More details about the model can be found at http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/WMM/DoDWMM.shtml. This class currently uses WMM-2020 which is valid until 2025, but should produce acceptable results for several years after that. Future versions of Android may use a newer version of the model.
