Dealing with compass/magnetometer inaccuracies across different mobile devices?

I'm developing an app in react native that is heavily dependant on the phone's compass bearing.

While testing (same conditions) i have noticed big differences in compass accuracy between different types of phones (i haven't tested any ios phone).

I have included a custom calibration module where the user must point to a known feature/building and indicate said featureon a map, but its cumbersome and i doubt many user will take the time.

I have looked for libraries with known compass deviations per phone model, but couldn't find any.

Has anyone encountered this problem and found a good and lasting solution? Any suggestions on how to reduce these compass inaccuracies across different types of phone?

Built something that works backwards from ADS-B, "I saw something, what was it"

Instead of starting on a map, this is the opposite, you give it where you were standing and when, and it tells you what you most likely saw.

It uses ADS-B, OGN/FLARM, satellite passes, planets and stars, and factors in terrain, masts, turbines and weather and ranks the candidats. If nothing known fits, drone or light aircraft becomes the candidate

Only covers belgium for now as a test case. https://sky-lens.com/app if you want to throw an observation at it. Curious what you think, and whether its worth extending past Belgium

Unigis MSc - salzburg

I am interested in studying geomatics and having a degree. I'm looking for full online courses that can be combined with work at a reasonable price.

After combining these criteria I end up with very few possibilities. One of which is unogis msc From salzburg University.

Can someone with more knowledge of this master program tell me if it's worth it? Sufficiently interactive and well explained to do fully online? What are the carreer possibilities afterwards? Is the 13000 price tag worth it?

In the age of AI, is there still a clear added benefit of spending that amount of money?
