Abstract
A device is described herein for determining azimuth comprising a MEMS inertial measurement unit (IMU), a GPS system comprising a GPS antenna and receiver, and a processor configured to receive data from said IMU and from said GPS system, said processor being configured to process said IMU data and said GPS data to derive a true north reference based on said IMU data and said GPS data. A method for determining azimuth is also described herein.
