Direction-Based Computer Malfunction

    This is very strange, but i was riding today, and whenever i rode north, my computer started showing random, disconnected numbers under mph. It would go something like 14-22-8-6-17-11-etc. When I would turn around and head south the problem did not occur. East seemed to be fine, but west was not. I tested it only nine or ten times, but every time the same thing happened. This has never happened before today so I'm stumped. Something to do with magnetism maybe? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I've never heard of this... interesting for sure... What kind of computer is it? GPS (Garmin?) or wheel based (polar, cateye, etc)? Is it wired or wireless?

    I could imagine that it might be interference from a power line or something.
