Your device has an internal compass. This page tells you how to use the compass.

To check the status of the compass, go to the Maps view. In the right corner you can see the compass indicator.

• When the compass is enabled, the circle around the compass is green, and the map view rotates automatically according to the direction to which the top of the device is pointing.
• If the indicator is yellow, the accuracy of the compass is low.
• If the indicator is red, the compass is not calibrated.
• When the compass is not turned on, the circle around the compass is white, and the map view does not rotate automatically.

The compass should always be properly calibrated. To calibrate the compass:

1. Ensure that the device sensors are on. Select Menu > Settings > Phone > Sensor settings > Sensors > On.
2. Select Menu > Maps.
3. The compass is active by default.
4. Rotate the device around all axes in a continuous movement until the calibration indicator changes its colour to green.

To turn off the compass, select Options > Tools > Turn compass off. Turning off the compass is only valid for the current session. When you open Maps the next time, it will be turned on automatically.

Electromagnetic fields, large metal objects, and other external circumstances may reduce the accuracy of the compass. Never rely solely on the device compass.
