It's produced by Precision Navigation (415) 962-8777, but they don't sell
them direct; however, they may send you the specs. Jameco sells them for
$50. Briefly, it's a dual axis magnetometer, no moving parts. It's
reported accuracy is +/- 2 deg, precision +/- one degree. Update rate is
about 10 Hz. Size is about 2x2 inches. It has a provision for making bulk
iron corrections. Since it measures the earth's field, it is the output
reading is sensitive to tilt. I don't know if it lives up to its specs or not.
