Are you facing the wrong direction?

If you're like me and your map points the wrong way you may want to calibrate your compass.

On Android you can open Google Maps and click the blue dot that marks your current location to get instructions on how to calibrate your compass.

Maybe someone else can help out with iPhone.

    Because my very first Android had that problem I just always ignored arrows when maps used an arrow lol and paid attention to direction the object was moving. I just checked my new phone (6th one) and it's actually faces the correct way! Who knew lol.

    Wow @CytopeAchen! That sounds like a ton of work. If rather just calibrate my compass or hold my phone upside down. 🤪
