TIPS FOR BETTER COMPASS ACCURACY

Phone compasses are sensitive.  

If the arrow feels off, try these quick fixes:

- Keep the phone upright — flat phones confuse the sensor

- Walk a few steps — movement helps the compass stabilise

- Avoid metal — stages, speakers, barriers, vehicles, and power banks all interfere

- Don’t hold it near magnets — bags, cases, and battery packs often have them

- Give it a quick figure‑8 motion — this recalibrates most devices

- Check your case — some cases have metal plates that ruin accuracy

- Stay away from big crowds — lots of phones + metal = noisy readings

- Let the app warm up for 2–3 seconds — sensors settle fast but not instantly

And always:  

LOOK WHERE YOU’RE GOING!  

The arrow points the way — 

you still need to steer.
