The Compass has been touted as one of the big additions to the new iPhone 3GS and I was giving it a test drive at lunch today.
Some of you might already know this but I just stumbled across this tip and figured I’d share it if anyone else here is wondering about it.
Turn on Compass View in Google Maps
Compass itself is pretty neat when you hold it and see what direction you are facing. But, it is WAY more useful when turned on in Google Maps so you can see if you are actually facing the right direction while driving or walking with the help of Google Maps.
Initially I couldn’t figure out how to turn on the ‘lighthouse beam’ kind of animation. It turns out to be just a toggle of the same ‘current location’ button we are used to using. Just hit that button again and you will see it change to Compass view.
