A method and system for continuously and automatically calibrating the settings of an electronic compass, as needed, while a vehicle moves from place to place is shown. The calibration technique of the present invention measures the ocal magnetic field while the vehicle moves from place to place and determines points on a reference Cartesian coordinate system. Each such point defines the endpoint for a vector corresponding with the measured field intensity and orientation of the local magnetic field. Any three such points are used to calculate the center of a circle that extends through all of those points. A vector that begins at the origin of the reference Cartesian coordinate system and terminates at the calculated center of the circle is thereafter subtracted from subsequent field measurement vectors that correspond to the field intensity and direction of the local magnetic field. As a result, the electronic compass compensates for interfering magnetic fields, including those resulting from the varying magnetic field signatures of its associated vehicle.

A personal medication in storage dispensing unit is provided for receiving and storing medication, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, pills capsules, gel tablets and the like in a manner which is easily accessible and which is conducive to inclusion within a medication regimen system. A medication regimen monitor can be included in this system in order to be programmed to signal proper medication dosage times. The monitor preferably provides non-compliance information, preferably information which persists and which designates which portion of the medication regimen was not complied with. The system also can include a holder for multiple storing and dispensing units in an ordered fashion consistent with daily requirements of the medication regimen.
