Short summary
The article shows that indoor navigation can be resolved on the basis of improved magnetic tracking. A theory of indoor navigation based on magnetic positioning is proposed. The functioning of the local system was confirmed experimentally. The author is goes on to continue this work as a full-scale experiment to validate the proposed technique. The work is part of the doctoral thesis of the author. All work is executed by the author on his own initiative alone, at his own expense.
