Abstract: A system, method, device and computer code product is disclosed for stabilizing compass heading under tilt error conditions from an uncorrected electronic compass reading. Exemplary embodiments include a stabilizing filter configured to filter out tilt errors incorporated into the uncorrected electronic compass reading and a filter adaptation module configured to control the stabilizing filter response based on the signal radius of the uncorrected compass reading and a pre-calibrated ideal radius for the compass. The filter adaptation module can be configured to calculate a filter response parameter as a function of the relative difference between the signal radius of the uncorrected compass reading and the pre-calibrated ideal radius. The filter response parameter can be passed to the stabilizing filter for controlling its operation.
