How does that handle high tension lines and the like, doesn't it disturb the magnetosphere far too much? Kinda the reason even compasses don't work anymore in town?

this would also be susceptible to magnetic field switching as well, shouldnt be a huge technical limitation, but im not sure accuracy is going to be quite as good.
