Has anyone else had their iPhone or iPad tell them the direction wrong?

The compass in my 3Gs is funny to watch. It's rarely correct and I only use it for general direction.

Well the top two iPhones are both 3G and the bottom three are all iPhone 4s.

I never use the compass as it rarely points in the correct direction. Also really annoying that there is an individual app for it..

since it's an electronic compass, my guess is a that is some type of magnetometer, I think these interacted w/ each other like any normal magnet giving incorrect measurements...

My compass is never correct, it's rather irritating when trying to use GMaps for directions.
