About the compass
Depending on your wireless service provider, this feature might not be supported.
You can use the Compass application to determine your direction in relation to the Earth's magnetic poles or to true north. You
can also use the Compass application with location-based applications, such as the Maps application that might be preloaded
on your smartphone, to provide you with information such as driving directions or your position in relation to points of
interest. The Compass application is most accurate when you place your smartphone on a flat surface or hold it horizontally.
To use this feature, your BlackBerry® smartphone must have an internal GPS receiver. If your smartphone does not have an
internal GPS receiver, you can pair your smartphone with a Bluetooth® enabled GPS receiver. For more information, contact
your wireless service provider.
