+    \class QMagnetometerReading
+    \ingroup sensors_reading
+
+    \brief The QMagnetometerReading class represents one reading from the
+           magnetometer.
+
+    \section2 QMagnetometerReading Units
+    The magnetometer returns magnetic flux density values along 3 axes.
+    The scale of the values is teslas. The axes are arranged as follows.
+
+    \image sensors-coordinates2.jpg
+
+    The magnetometer can report on either raw magnetic flux values or geomagnetic flux values.
+    By default it returns raw magnetic flux values. The QMagnetometer::returnGeoValues property
+    must be set to return geomagnetic flux values.
+
+    The primary difference between raw and geomagnetic values is that extra processing
+    is done to eliminate local magnetic interference from the geomagnetic values so they
+    represent only the effect of the Earth's magnetic field. This process is not perfect
+    and the accuracy of each reading may change.
+
+    The image below shows the difference between geomagnetic (on the left) and raw (on the right)
+    readings for a phone that is being subjected to magnetic interference.
+
+    \image sensors-geo-vs-raw-magnetism.jpg
+
+    The accuracy of each reading is measured as a number from 0 to 1.
+    A value of 1 is the highest level that the device can support and 0 is
+    the worst.
