Abstract: Process for compensating a magnetic interference field in a vehicle having a navigation installation. During a calibration run for initial compensation, a first set of interference field parameters is determined from the measurements of the magnetic field probe (interference field vector V1, axes a, b of the elliptical locus curve E1, oblique position) and transformed onto points of a circular locus curve with the radius a about the origin (0); the distance from the origin (0) and the angle are calculated for each pair of measurements. The calculated radius values and the circularly transformed pairs of measurements (MP) are averaged and entered in their appropriate memory cell in a segmented memory for 360.degree. with a plurality of memory ceils (predetermined angular region). Variant 1: for each segment, the radius difference (.DELTA.
