Check out Precision Navigation http://www.precisionnav.com/ They make the
Vector 2X digital compass. They have a single plane version, a multiaxis
gimballed version as well as the $$$ non-mechanical tilt compensated model.
I've been thinking about using a BasicX to interrogate a Vector 2X and drive
a Polaroid 6500 sonar range finder for navigation.
