Maps (Compass)

[ajorourke]

So, iPhone and Android both offer a digital compass that shows you which direction you're facing within their map app.

Having had the Lumia 800 and now the HTX 8X I can't see this option even though digital compass is listed in the specs.

Is this a maps app issue or am I just doing it wrong?

There is a HTC app for compass on wp7, search around the store and maybe you will find it.

The built-in Map app doesn't use the compass for some reason. GMaps and GMaps Pro have the option to overlay a compass pointer, though.
