Troubleshooting: Compass

I'm not getting an accurate reading from the compass

Try the following actions:

•If the compass doesn't point north, move your BlackBerry device away from metal objects, such as magnets or electronics.

•If you have turned on Location Services and are navigating based on true north, you need the GPS receiver to be able to connect to satellites. Try moving outside or near a window in order to establish a GPS connection.
