Is compass sensor required in Locus Pro

Reinhold F. shared this question 7 years ago

All,

I intend to buy a new tablet. The Huawei MediaPad T3 will fit my needs, a proper car-mounting is available.

After some research, I found out there is non compass sensor present.

Do I need the compass for Locus?

I use Locus for (offroad) car navigation - mainly displaying topographical maps, tracks and pois.


Kind regards,

Reinhold

Hi Reinhold,

if you use Locus in the car only, you don't need compass sensor. What's more, compass sensor can't be used in a car - it intereferes with the car electronics. So the tablet you want to buy should be OK. Locus can detect orientation from GPS data.

Michal,

Thank you for your quick reply.

It's as I expected. As long as I am moving, orientation is given. This will work for me.

Locus is running fine on Lenove Tab4 8 Plus, even without compass sensor ;)

Very fast an responsive.
