About the compass
The digital compass on your BlackBerry device works like a regular compass, but also includes more features. For
example, you can choose whether the compass points to true north or magnetic north. The compass also works in any
direction or orientation, including upside down.
Get a compass reading
To get a compass reading, rotate and tilt your BlackBerry device.
The current direction that you're facing appears at the top of the screen.
Point the compass to true north or to magnetic north
You can choose to navigate with your compass using either true north or magnetic north. Magnetic north, which is what a
standard compass points to, can be influenced by several factors and isn't constant. True north, or geographical north, is
what you would see on a paper map and is constant. If you would prefer to navigate based on true north (for example, if you
are using your compass to follow a map) you must turn on GPS.
In the compass app, do one of the following:
• To navigate based on true north, at the bottom of the screen, turn on the switch.
• To navigate based on magnetic north, at the bottom of the screen, turn off the switch.
