The compass is active when there is a green outline. If
the compass needs calibration, the outline of the
compass is red or yellow. To calibrate the compass,
rotate the device around all axes in a continuous
movement.
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.
