Nokia Maps

If your device has a compass, when activated, both the arrow of the compass and the map rotate in the direction to which the top of your device is pointing. Select Menu > Maps and Current position.

Activate the compass

Select Options > Map rotation on . The compass is active when the map view rotates automatically, and the outline of the compass is green, yellow, or red.

A green outline of the compass indicates excellent calibration. If the outline of the compass is red, the compass needs calibration. A yellow outline indicates that the compass can be used, but the accuracy of the compass is lower, and calibration is recommended.

Calibrate the compass

Rotate the device around all axes in a continuous movement until the outline of the compass turns green.

The compass has limited accuracy. Electromagnetic fields, metal objects, or other external circumstances may also affect the accuracy of the compass. The compass should always be properly calibrated.

Deactivate the compass

Select Options > Map rotation off . The map is oriented north, and the outline of the compass turns grey.
