Formula for northernly turning error from
http://williams.best.vwh.net/compass/node4.html:
Hc: compass heading
- Hm: magnetic heading
+ psi: magnetic heading
theta: bank angle (right positive; should be phi here)
mu: dip angle (down positive)
Hc = atan2(sin(Hm)cos(theta)-tan(mu)sin(theta), cos(Hm))
+
+ This function changes the variable names to the more common psi
+ for the heading, theta for the pitch, and phi for the roll (and
+ target_deg for Hc). It also modifies the equation to
+ incorporate pitch as well as roll, as suggested by Chris
+ Metzler.
