View Directions and Coordinates, with Compass

Compass shows you the direction your phone is pointing towards, as well as your current longitude and latitude.

1. You can open Compass in either of the following ways:

   • Swipe down from the middle of the home screen to display the search box, and search for Compass. The first result will be the pre-installed Compass app.

   • Find Compass in the Tools folder.

2. You can view directions and coordinates in either of the following ways:

   • When you hold your phone flat, the Compass screen will display the direction your phone is pointing towards, along with the current coordinates.

   • When you hold your phone upright, the Compass screen will display the viewfinder of the rear camera on your phone, as well as the direction your phone is pointing towards, and the current coordinates.

To lock the current direction, touch the compass dial. The dial marks will turn blue if you stray off course.

For optimal accuracy, remember to hold your phone flat or upright when using Compass.
