•
Note the direction that the MapSight is facing (e.g. identify a
recognizable object / landmark in this direction).
• During the steps on the following pages, try to keep the front
section of the MapSight aligned with your reference direction
as shown.
• Tap the screen to continue.
• In the rotation screen, review the video which illustrates the
movement required
o
The videos are taken from the user’s perspective when
facing in the reference direction.
o
Note that the movements required for the compass
calibration may take a couple of attempts to master. Don’t
worry if you get it wrong, the calibration application will
prompt you to repeat any step that was not completed
correctly.
o
Aim to be halfway through the rotation when the count gets
to 5.
o
For each rotation, the key is to keep the MapSight aligned
with the reference direction as shown.
• When you are ready, tap the screen to start.
•
You will be given a countdown ‘Ready, Set, Go’ and a 10 second count will begin for each
required rotation.
• Rotate your MapSight smoothly in the manner shown during the 10 second count, maintaining
alignment with the direction reference noted earlier.
•
If you move too far from alignment you will be warned with a tone. The faster the tone beeps,
the further the MapSight is from the correct alignment. Use the bar indicator on the bottom of
the screen to help guide you back to the correct alignment.
•
Once the 10 second count has finished, the data collected will be assessed for alignment and
rotational quality.
•
If the Compass Calibration was not rotated evenly through one
complete revolution, the error
“The rotation was not even. One
full rotation should take 10 seconds.” will be displayed.
•
Repeat the process for each of the three required orientations.
