Claim 15:
16. A system for displaying a medical device location in a hybrid magnetic and impedance tracking system, the system comprising:
an impedance localization system including one or more patches;
a magnetic localization system configured to generate a magnetic field;
one or more magnetic sensors coupled to the one or more patches and configured to receive signals from the magnetic localization system;
an electronic control unit configured to receive patch location data from the impedance localization system and magnetic sensor location data from the magnetic localization system, wherein the electronic control unit is configured to output a location of the medical device within the patient; and
a display for presenting the location of the medical device within the patient,
wherein the electronic control unit outputs the location of the medical device while disregarding information from the magnetic localization system when the electronic control unit detects magnetic field distortion.
