Compass widget shows how the map is oriented on your device's screen. You can select three types of compass:
- Fixed (north is up): Map exhibits no automatic rotation, the north direction aways points upwards. When manually rotating with a two fingers gesture, the widget's north direction changes accordingly. By tapping on the widget, the compass and the map return to the original orientation.
- Movement direction: Map rotates by bearing, this is the direction of your movement by GPS, which is synchronized with the map. Read more
- Compass direction: Map synchronizes with the compass on your device and the widget points to the actual north of the Earth. If your device does not have a compass sensor, the map orientation will not change.
