Mu understanding was that it would do thing like reorientate google maps - so as a turn the phone, the map turns. But it doesn't affect maps at all.
Actually it does affect the maps. You have to turn on the effect though. You do this by using the small symbol in the lower left corner of the screen. It is helpful to have the map properly oriented when you use it.
Double tap the button at the bottom of which screen? In maps that turns on locate and immediately turns it off again. In compass it just opens maps.
I thought that, if I located myself in maps and then turned the phone 180deg, the map would remain correctly orientated. It does not. It does the same as it always did.
I'm not sure why it isn't working for you, as it seems to be working for everyone else.
I just hit the locate button once in maps and it finds me with GPS, I then hit it again and it reorients the map to the direction I'm facing, and turns with me. The button icon changes from a target to a target with a beam in it.
Really?! Oh - then it isn't working for me. Maps locates me and then, when I tap it again it just turns it off.
Thanks for the help.
Done all that - said ok when prompted, restarted and still not working!
Guess I've got a duff phone. At least I know it SHOULD work cos til now I thought the compass was a pointless pile of crap.
Uh yes it does.

You really took the time to post this? Surely your time could be better spent elsewhere.
