Provided is an apparatus for estimating virtual axis geomagnetic data using a 2-axis geomagnetic sensor and an inclinometer, including a geomagnetic data normalizing unit for normalizing 2-axis geomagnetic data measured by the 2-axis geomagnetic sensor, a tilt angle calculator for calculating a tilt angle of the 2-axis geomagnetic sensor by using tilt information measured by the inclinometer, and a virtual axis geomagnetic data estimator for determining a magnitude of virtual geomagnetic data with respect to a virtual axis by using the normalized 2-axis geomagnetic data, and determining a sign of the virtual geomagnetic data based on the normalized 2-axis geomagnetic data, the calculated tilt angle and a dip angle to thereby estimate the virtual geomagnetic data.
