- About the Author
A map can be handy to help you find your way around, but if you don’t know which direction you’re facing, you may not know whether you’re heading the right way. To help you find your direction, the Maps app offers a compass.
To use the compass, follow these steps:
From the Home screen, tap Maps. The Maps screen appears.
Tap the Current Location icon twice. A compass appears in the upper-right corner, as shown in Figure 25-5. (Note how the Current Location icon changes when you turn on the compass.)
Rotate the iPad. The compass shows you the direction of north, while a triangular area on the blue dot shows which direction you’re currently facing. Try moving your iPad around—notice that as you change directions, the iPad’s indicator moves with you.
Tap the Current Location icon once to make the compass disappear. You can also just drag the map.
