Compass

orientation of the tablet. Additionally, the compass accuracy status is displayed; if the
compass needs to be calibrated, you’ll see a notification alerting you to calibrate the
compass. To calibrate the compass, tap Calibrate Compass and follow the on-screen
instructions.
Location Services
Location Services provides information about the R12’s current position—latitude,
longitude, heading, and accuracy. Accuracy provides two pieces of information: the
number shown gives an approximate radius of accuracy in meters. For example, “55.0m”
means that the position shown is accurate within 55 meters. Adjacent to that number, in
parentheses, is a phrase that defines the source of the current position fix. This source will
be one of the following:
• Cellular—The position was obtained from cellular network data.
• Satellite—The position was obtained from satellite data.
• Wi-Fi—The position was obtained from Wi-Fi network data.
• IP Address—The position was obtained from an IP address.
• Unknown—The position was obtained from an unknown source.
