> What's the difference between: > Magnetometer Exposes raw readings*, plus bias (as separate values) *which might include fixed hardware corrections because of adjacent hardware > GeomagneticFieldSensor, and Exposes adjusted values from hard iron in the phone and potentially in hear surroundings - it is intended to give the vector to the earths magnetic north. which means declination and inclination as well > GeomagneticOrientationSensor Gives an orientation to the earth magnetic north usually adjusted to the earth plane (no actual magnetic inclination) > Compass Same as above, but uses GPS to find location and adjusts to the actual North instead of magnetic North. -- GitHub Notification of comment by kenchris Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/magnetometer/pull/21#issuecomment-300763254 using your GitHub account
