Abstract
The direction finding apparatus provided in the vehicle (10) computes average data and variance data from output data of the terrestrial magnetism sensor (1) in straight moving, and determines reliability of the detected output data of the terrestrial magnetism sensor (1). The error due to the magnetization of the vehicle (10) is corrected by computing the examined data on each of plural center candidates and selecting a center candidate as a new center coordinate of the present output circle of the terrestrial magnetism. Then, the magnetization of the vehicle (10) is inferred from the new center coordinate, thereby to infer a precise terrestrial magnetism direction.
