This sensor can perfectly serve to measure both the strength and the orientation of the earth's magnetic field. An incredibly high ME-voltage response of 0.871\&\#xa0;V/Oe to the geomagnetic field with a resolution of 3\&\#xa0;{$\times$}\&\#xa0;10?4\&\#xa0;Oe has been achieved for composite laminates with a size of 15\&\#xa0;mm\&\#xa0;{$\times$}\&\#xa0;1\&\#xa0;mm. With respect to the field inclination, an angular sensitivity of 3.86\&\#xa0;{$\times$}\&\#xa0;10?3\&\#xa0;V/degree and an angular resolution of 10?1 degree have been determined. This simple and low-cost magnetic-field sensor is promising for applications not only as novel smart compasses and in global positioning devices, but also as magnetic biosensors.} }
