Electronic device and method for correcting geomagnetic data
An electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing, a rollable display, a magnetic sensor, and a processor. The magnetic sensor is disposed at a first position in the second housing coupled with the first housing in a first state. The magnetic sensor is configured to move from a first position to a second position based on a movement of the second housing in the first state so that the first housing and the second housing are coupled in a second state and to move from the second position to the first position based on a switching from the second state to the first state. The processor is configured to: electrically connect to the magnetic sensor, obtain geomagnetic data based on a movement of the magnetic sensor, and obtain correction data based on the obtained geomagnetic data.
