Are you one of those people who have difficulty understanding why you should turn to the left when, on the map, the street is on the right – just because you are moving from north to south?

This is where the compass function makes a difference. The map moves with every direction for more accurate orientation. The compass is turned on automatically when you open Maps.

The compass works through the sensors in the device. For sensor settings:

1. Select Menu > Tools > Settings.
2. Select General settings > Sensor settings.
3. Select Sensors > On or Off.
• Sensors are on by default.

Alternatively, you can select Menu > Maps > Options > Tools > Turn compass off.

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.

The compass should always be properly calibrated.

To calibrate the compass:

Rotate the device around all axes in a continuous movement until the calibration indicator changes its colour to green.

If the indicator is yellow, the accuracy of the compass is low. If the indicator is red, the compass is not calibrated.

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