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 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.
The compass is active by default. To turn off the
compass, 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:
● GPS connection is active.
● The device sensors are on. Select Menu >
Settings > Phone > Sensor settings >
Sensors > On.
● 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.
Move on a map
When the GPS connection is active, shows your
current location on the map.
To view your current or last known location, select
Options > My position.
To move on the map, scroll up, down, left, or right
with the scroll key. The map is oriented towards
north by default.
