Abstract:
A method and an apparatus are provided for determining an orientation of a tool with respect to a reference direction. At least one first signal is indicative of an orientation of a directional reference system with respect to the reference direction. The directional reference system is positioned spaced from the tool. At least one second signal is indicative of a relative orientation of the tool with respect to the directional reference system. The orientation of the tool at the first position is determined in response at least in part to the at least one first signal and the at least one second signal.
