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.
Troubleshooting: Compass
I'm not getting an accurate reading from the compass
Try the following actions:
• If the compass doesn't point north, move your BlackBerry device away from metal objects, such as magnets or
electronics.
• If you have turned on Location Services and are navigating based on true north, you need the GPS receiver to be able to
connect to GPS satellites. Try moving outside or near a window in order to establish a GPS connection.
I'm seeing the interference indicator when I try to use the compass
The interference indicator appears on the screen when something is interfering with the compass on your BlackBerry
device.
Try the following action:
• Move your device away from metal, then rotate and tilt your device until the indicator disappears.
