TruePoint™ Compass Module 
HMR3500 

 

 
The HMR3500 TruePoint™ compass module is a 3-axis 

digital compass solution with a customizable coordinate 

system for mounting in any desired orientation. Three 

Anisotropic Magneto-Resistive sensors and three MEMs 

accelerometers are combined to provide compass heading 

as well as pitch and roll angles.  

 

The HMR3500 has provisions for hard and soft-iron 

correction algorithms to handle magnetic distortion effects. 

In addition a World Magnetic Model feature is provided to 

automatically add declination angle corrections for 

reference to true north (geographic north). 

 

Honeywell provides product excellence and performance by introducing innovative solid-state magnetic sensor solutions. 

These are highly reliable, top performance products that are delivered when promised. Honeywell’s magnetic sensor 

products provide real solutions you can count on.
