Magnetometers are indispensable tools for navigation, but achieving accurate data requires careful consideration of environmental, instrumental, and operational factors. Proper calibration and interference reduction are essential to maximize accuracy. Understanding and addressing the factors influencing magnetometer accuracy will ensure reliable and precise results when developing uncrewed navigation systems.
