mark, if you read his message, he's tried using the compass, but the
magnetic clasp on his case renders it useless, saying he's heading east, no
matter which direction he's walking!

Subject: Re: Is there a GPS based compas App for iPhone 5S
Have you tried using the Compass that comes with the I 5S? It actually is
quite accessible, and gives you the direction you're facing in terms of
degrees as well as north south east west etc.
Give it a try

Hello,
I have an iPhone 5S which sits in a very nice protective case but alas the
magnetic clasp on the case stops the built in compass from working. Where
ever I face it always says “East”, even after recalibration. the compass
works fine when the phone is out of the case.
I am very reluctant to go for walks with the phone outside its protective
case, but I do find the compass very handy when lost.
I therefore wonder if there is an App which uses GPS to determine
direction. When lost I am happy to walk a short distance in some direction
and would like the App to tell me which direction I had walked in. Does
anyone know of such a VoiceOver accessible App?
Alternatively does anyone know of a good iPhone 5S protective case which
does not have a magnetic clasp?
Many thanks for any help.
