Why is it the worst?
I tried to think how to implement each idea and I came across with
these
thoughts:
1) Idea #1: Imo, the movement/sliding effect will be less smooth,
using
canvas.drawText().
2) Idea #2: Having a fixed-sized image has a limitation if the users
continue rotating more than the
I'll bet it works a lot like electronic car compasses. The one I have
in my truck (GMC) is fairly accurate but once in a great while it goes
nuts. To recalibrate the thing the manual instructs to drive in a
circle slowly. If it still doesn't work right, drive in a figure 8
slowly. Don't know why
What do you tell the cop when he stops you?

Actually, I figured #3 was the worst of the lot.

If you want it to really look like an aircraft compass, construct it
as a sphere with markings in openGL.

Does an Android 'sensor' have a compass built in? I thought it was
just a motion sensor, portrait/landscape, etc., and not a true
compass?
And as far as I know, the gps device is a coordinate/point location
thing, not a compass thing.
How would the phone/device actually know its facing North?
Just to answer my own question, Compass functionality is built into
some (all?) devices. I noticed that the up-coming T-Mobile Comet has
compass functionality.

I do wonder how accurate it could possibly be, however. Your standard
compass can be led astray by a steel belt buckle, so it's hard to see
how a compass inside a phone, with batteries, printed circuits,
electrons whizzing around, etc, could be very accurate at all.

In answer to the original query, there are four conceptual ways I can
think of to do the job:
1) Paint the letters and hash marks under program control
2) Have an image that goes, say W..N..E..S..W..N..E and slide it back
and forth as needed
3) Have images W, N, E, S, and several .. images of
I may know more about magnetic compasses than some of the engineers
putting them in devices...but of course, I don't know what those
engineers are doing. But let me try to address the question in general
terms anyway.
Consider that traditionally, huge iron ships could use magnetic
compasses with
