Navigation
Compass
Use a magnetic or sun-based compass display to estimate north direction.
Useful for non-critical outdoor orientation practice
A sun-compass alternative works when the device lacks a magnetic compass or nearby interference is an issue.
Keep in mind: Sun mode depends on knowing the time and seeing the sun; weather, setup and sensors limit results, so keep an independent navigation reference.
