magnetic_model

This package contains utilities for working with the World Magnetic Model, e.g. computing magnetic declination.

The package also embeds the IGRF-14 model for predictions dating back to 1900.

There is also special support for the Gazebo Magnetometer model, which is a special instance of IGRF-14.
