Use the compass

If your device has a compass, when activated, both the arrow
of the compass and the map rotate automatically in the
direction to which the top of your device is pointing.
Select Menu Maps and
>
Activate the compass
Select .
Deactivate the compass
Select again. The map is oriented north.
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.
