None of the LX Nav varios has an integral magnetometer which is just as well IMHO given the difficulties in getting a useable compass display in the panel given the accuracy that they require to give good wind information or to be integrated into an inertial measurment unit. LXNav doesn't seem to be selling the remote compass unit now and although they refer to using it with their new stand alone AHRS instrument so I don't know whether they expect customers to buy the LX Navigation compass instead(??)
