Compass and Accelerometer

The Allegro 2 has a built-in compass and accelerometer.

The compass is used for embossing GPS information on

pictures taken with the camera, or embedding GPS

information into jpg files. The compass is also used by the

JSNav program. The accelerometer assists the compass in

determining direction, even when the device is not resting

flat. (See Chapter 6, GPS/GNSS, JSNav Application and

Chapter 7, Camera, Geotagging.)
The compass and accelerometer can also be used by other

user applications.
