Locus 3.57.1 does not rotate the map acc. to compass
Not a Problem
Locus 3.57.1 does not rotate the map acc. to compass. If I choose rotate the map, the map rotates jus some degrees an stops tjan rotating - does not rotate further of I turn the Galaxy S9 I use. IT used to work for many years an this Phone and its predecisors.
Using the compass function works without any problems - I turn the Smartphone and the compass' needle turns smooth aß IT should. So tje compass seems to bee okay and Shows the right direction.
Please help.
The same problem 
Hi,
have you tried calibrating the compass? https://docs.locusmap.app/doku.php?id=manual:faq:how_to_calibrate_compass

Yes, as I wrote, the compass in Locus and gmaps works fine and I have calibrated it several Times.
The thing is, that the map does not turn proprly. 😰

Do you have the "hardware compass" or "Auto-change" switched on in Locus settings > GPS&sensors > Map rotation mode?

I think, I have the solution:
I first have to center the map to the GPS Position by the GPS Button. Done this, the map seems to compass-rotate properly again 🤩

Yes, the map can rotate only when the GPS location is centered.

In LM4 that works for me. I am not centered but the map rotates automatically. maybe it's the expert settings. I disabled dual centering button

I'm wondering why it was like that all the years before, If it doesn't make sense And why there's a Setting for it in LM4.
And why does it make no sense?
If i'm on a hill for example and want to define what's around me it doesn't make sense that Rotation stops if i zoom out a bit.
If i don't want Rotation i simply tip on the Button for it.
I don't understand what kind of Feature it is, that a function i activated, stops without asking me.
For me it would be nice to have that Setting in my LMP, too.
Too bad :/

Not good. I think this is a step to the wrong direction.
