A borehole survey method is provided for processing continuous measurements of the earth's magnetic and gravitational fields obtained while drilling a borehole. The present invention improves borehole acquisition of targeted geological structures by substantially reducing continuous measurement errors attributable to noise, shock and vibrations from turning the drill bit against rock.
