- | * **Use hardware compass** - allows to choose built-in hardware compass for orientation that is essential for map rotation and the compass screen. Hardware compass bearing is more suitable for slower speeds, e.g. walking, as it does not require movement to detect direction unlike GPS. GPS azimuth bearing is more suitable for car navigation due to magnetic components in the car that can distort the hardware compass values - :!: **Mobile hardware compass is very sensitive on nearby magnetic metals and may display malformed values in their close presence, e.g. magnetic flipcases or steel steering bars.** | + | |
