to which the top of your device is pointing.

Deactivate the compass — Press 5 again. The map is
oriented north.
The compass is active when there is a green outline. If the
compass needs calibration, the outline of the compass is
red or yellow. To calibrate the compass, rotate the device
around all axes in a continuous movement.
The compass has limited accuracy. Electromagnetic fields,
metal objects, or other external circumstances may also
affect the accuracy of the compass. The compass should

About positioning methods
Maps displays your location on the map using GPS, A-GPS,
or cell ID based positioning.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the
government of the United States, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The
accuracy of location data can be affected by adjustments
to GPS satellites made by the United States government
and is subject to change with the United States
Department of Defense civil GPS policy and the Federal
Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be affected by
poor satellite geometry. Availability and quality of GPS
signals may be affected by your location, buildings,
