instead of starting a new thread i will ask here. does the hero have a compass built in?when i googled it i got very little info about it. if yes how do i access it, also my original rom had google maps but i put a new one in (2.2 modaco i think?) and i it doesnt have it.so i downloaded google maps from the market but it seems somewhat stripped down.i am sure the original had birds eye views etc unless im thinkin of something else

I do not think the hero has a build in compass, you would have to download a compass app from the market and google maps on my phone has a birds eye view, as in looking straight down if thats what you mean.
