Use internal compas #169

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Would be nice when geobeagle would use the device's internal compass to get the 
orientation of the device. It's a little bit annoying when you have to start 
walking to get the right direction.

On my HTC Desire, Geobeagle uses the internal compass just fine.
I do however have to recalibrate the compass now and then as I carry my phone 
in a pouch that has a magnet... The figure 8 method (see youtube video) works 
great for me:
