Description
The heading in degrees relative to the magnetic North Pole. (Read Only)
The value in this property is always measured relative to the top
of the screen in its current orientation.
The heading of magnetic
north is not exactly the same as true geographical north - to get
the exact heading, use the trueHeading property.

// Orient an object to point to magnetic north.
