This plugin may be deprecated, but w3c orientation doesn't give compass heading on IOS #45

Somewhat frustratingly, the device orientation event only gives orientation relative to the direction the device was pointing at the time of instantiation on IOS.

So at the moment I fail to see how this plugin can be deprecated until the full absolute compass heading functionality is available across all platforms.

Or have I got it wrong?

"Deprecated" doesn't mean you can't use the plugin any more to get the functionality you mentioned. It just means, the developers don't plan to release any more update in the future.
