Compass Display

The Compass Display circuity is entirely contained within the Rearview Mirror.

The compass display is located on the mirror. It presents directional displays relative to symbolic horizon lines and road lines.

The electronic compass includes a fluxgate magnetic field sensor and a microprocessor. The microprocessor receives inputs from the sensor, processes them and provides outputs to the compass display which indicates the vehicle heading, relative to the Earth's magnetic fields.
