The direction is not real. The map is rotating and not showing the real direction on Samsung s7 Phone. Google maps and the built-in compass show the right direction.

Check your Locus settings under GPS & Sensors/ Orientation. Is Hardware compass selected? Or only GPS?

Auto mode is set. Under 3.6 km / h hardware compass, above GPS

Ok, looks good. And you are not using a flipcover with a magnet in the lid? Then I am out of answers.

Hi Péter,

when using the auto mode - do you use Locus Map in a car? If yes, the hardware compass is influenced by the car electronics when you are not moving. When in car, always use just GPS orientation. All the same, as Henk has written - the phone sensors may be distrurbedby any magnets around - magnet flips, holders, etc. Check that none of this is used when you have hardware compass or auto mode set.

best regards

Michal
