Compass

Select Menu > Maps.

Your device has an internal compass. 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 is active by default. To turn off the

compass, select in the Maps main view, select

Options > Tools > Turn compass off. When the

compass is not turned on, the circle around the

compass is white, and the map view does not rotate

automatically. Turning off the compass is only valid for

the current session. When you open Maps the next

time, it will be turned on automatically.

Before you can calibrate the compass you should check

the following:

The device sensors are on. Select Menu >

Settings > Phone > Sensor settings >

Sensors > On.

GPS connection is active.

The map is zoomed to your GPS position. Otherwise

the compass icon is not shown.

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

When you have an active connection and browse the
