+ | ===== Orientation ===== | ||
+ | ==== Compass ==== | ||
+ | Allows to choose either built-in hardware compass or GPS-calculated azimuth for orientation that is essential for map rotation and the compass screen. | ||
+ | * **Hardware compass** - more suitable for slower speeds, e.g. walking, as it does not require movement to detect direction unlike GPS.\\ <WRAP round important> | ||
+ | * **Orientation via GPS** - more suitable for car navigation due to magnetic components in the car that can affect performance of the hardware compass. | ||
+ | * **Auto-change** - shifts bearing automatically between hardware compass and GPS according to pre-defined critical speed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Use true bearing ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sets navigation by true bearing instead of magnetic bearing. | ||
+ | ==== Compatibility mode ==== | ||
+ | Orientation is computed by an alternative method. Suitable for some devices. | ||
