7. Navigation Instruments
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 3G 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.
