Calibrate the compass
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,
large metal objects, and other external circumstances may
further affect the accuracy of the compass. The compass
should always be properly calibrated. To calibrate the
compass, do the following:
1. Select Menu > Applications > GPS > Maps.
2. The compass is active by default. To deactivate the
compass, select Options > Tools > Turn compass off.
When the compass is deactivated, the circle around the
compass is white, and the map view does not rotate
automatically. Deactivating the compass is only valid for
the current session. When you open Maps the next time,
the compass is activated automatically.
3. 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.
