on iPhones you can change this in settings (geographic vs magnetic north) not sure for other devices but my guess is there will be settings as well...
Unless you're in northern Canada I really wouldn't worry about the difference between geographic and magnetic north.
Just for a laugh I've looked at the "compass" results from a couple of phones (an iPhone and a Blackberry Q10) and an actual compass (piece of metal on a stick in a box - remember them?). Obviously indoors it's really not a fair test, but if I point the phones north (which the actual compass gets correct) the phones read 268 and 210 rather than 0.
So perhaps "facing north/east/south/west" is good enough for a bench? Cheers, Andy _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
