Calibrate the compass

Sometimes the compass may shift due to magnetic interference. When the compass is launched, a message indicates the level of accuracy (High, Medium, or Low). If you notice that the accuracy level is degrading, you will need to recalibrate it. To remedy this, Google has integrated with Android a series of movements to put things in the right direction. To do this, go to the compass screen and then do the following with your smartphone or tablet:

• Tilt it forward then back
• Tilt it to the left and right
• Move it to the left and right

The next animated image will show you how to proceed.
