The November '89 issue of Radio Electronics showed how to tap off
2 voltages from the Radio Shack Electronic Car Compass to provide
heading information for a computer. This compass costs $50.

For about $300 you can get a gimbaled, dampened Flux Gate with
RS232 out (ala NMEA standard) from a marine supply house such
as West Marine.
