gps compass option #50

Closed jobbb closed 7 years ago

jobbb commented 7 years ago

Some Android phones do not have a magnetic compass inside. They must use GPS.
Is it possible to integrate a option for an GPS-Compass, if it's easy to integrate this?
Best regards

For phones without a magnetic compass there is the map view, where you can see the direction on the map.

As far i know apps like Google maps also use the magnetic compass or the direction of movement while driving/going.

I don't think it is possible to get the orientation of the phone from gps, but if you know an app, which does that, i could take a look at it...
