NOTE: Follow these guidelines when using the compass.
Keep the device away from objects that generate magnetic fields, such as cars, large
belt buckles, computers, cell phones, etc.
If you must use the compass inside a car, the device should be at least 20 cm (7.87
inches) away from metal objects such as car doors, dashboard, air vents, etc.
Avoid playing the MP3 music with the internal speaker or connecting the AC adapter.
This will cause the magnetic interference to the compass.
Regularly set the reference altitude for an accurate output. (See the next section.)
Compass Settings
The value of altitude is adjusted according to the change in the ambient pressure.
It is important that you regularly set the reference altitude because the compass
needs an appropriate starting point (altitude versus ambient pressure) for future
adjustments.
To configure the compass, tap Setting Setting. When finished, tap OK to save
the changes and go back to the Compass screen.
Setting Items

Altimeter
Set the reference altitude for the compass. You can either set a
