11. Compass
Leveraging the iPad’s built-in magnetometer, the MotionX compass shows such
information as heading, SOG (speed over ground), VMG (velocity made good),
distance, bearing, and time to waypoint, and ETA during active navigation. Mark
waypoints and start/stop navigation with a single touch.
For the satellite-based compass (GPS mode) to provide an accurate heading, you should
be outdoors with a clear view of the sky and moving at least a few mph or km/h.
The magnetometer in the iPad is susceptible to magnetic interference from electronics
and ferrous metals. If an accurate direction cannot be achieved due to interference, you
will be instructed to move away from the interference and re-calibrate the
magnetometer by moving your iPad in a figure 8 pattern.
