Important:

The accuracy of the compass can be affected by magnetic or environmental

interference; even the magnets in the iPhone earbuds can cause a deviation. Use the digital
compass only for basic navigation assistance. Don’t rely on it to determine precise location,
proximity, distance, or direction.
