An e-compass, or electronic compass, is a device that utilizes electronic sensors to determine the direction or orientation of an object relative to the Earth's magnetic field. It is commonly integrated into smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices for navigation purposes, offering users accurate directional information independent of the global positioning system (GPS) or external signals.

The main types of e-compasses include 1-axis, 2-axis, 3-axis, 6-axis, and 9-axis variants. A 1-axis e-compass measures magnetic fields in a single direction, while a 2-axis e-compass measures in two perpendicular directions to provide more precise orientation data. These devices employ various technologies such as fluxgate, Hall-effect, Magnetoresistive, and others, catering to diverse industries including consumer electronics, aerospace and defense, automotive, marine, surveying, and more.
