Compass; Move On A Map - Nokia N86 8MP User Manual

Compass

Select Menu > Maps.
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,
metal objects, or other external circumstances may also
affect the accuracy of the compass. The compass should
always be properly calibrated.
The compass is active by default. To turn off the compass,
in the Maps main view, select
compass off. When the compass is not turned on, the
circle around the compass is white, and the map view
does not rotate automatically. Turning off the compass is
only valid for the current session. When you open Maps
the next time, it will be turned on automatically.
