Compass

I believe the solution to the calibration problem is to hold the phone at arm's length while moving it through several large figure-eights.

 

Have you tried the figure-eight action to calibrate the compass? So hard to describe n i cant find a youtube vid i saw once but basicly hold the phone at arms lenth and twist your wrist in a figure eight a few times (kinda like activating the Moto X camera if that helps)
Sorry if that sounds like a bunch of stupid lol :thumbup:

 

No. At arm's length one moves the phone in as large of figure-8 as possible several times ... the wrist stays fixed, it's the entire arm that moves.

One tries to move the phone through as much geomagnetic flux as possible in a short time before returning to the starting value.

 

lol - for some reason, your posts made me envision a whole bunch of people in one room gyrating their arms about to calibrate their phones. Wonder who thought that up? And why/how does it work? Interesting....

I occasionally have a problem with Sky Map not being oriented correctly. The figure-8s solve it immediately.

 

No that it’s rocket science, but I learned at Best Compass Calibration Method.

 

Lets all do it starting at
10pm GMT (nearly 30mins from now) and see if we can change earths rotation :beer:

 

Darn, I missed it! Did it work?
