Sherminator18 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 I was out caching yesterday and was navigating to a cache with Cachly and the header indicator was pointing in the opposit direction than I was walking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Hubbard Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 If this happens, can you open Apple Maps and check to see if the heading indicator there is the same as Cachly? Are you using iOS 10.3? If so the compass does automatic calibration, and we have read (not specific to Cachly) that some people are having a hard time getting it to auto calibrate.

Sherminator18 Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Yes I have iOS 10.3. Next time I see this I'll check the apple maps as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team DEMP Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 The indicator seemed to work fine for me on my iPhone 6 / iOS 10.3 phone today as long as I was moving in a direction. Standing still or just starting out moving, I expect the phone isn't sure yet or reporting back to the apps a valid direction. After moving a direction for 30 feet, the direction seems to be correct. That's my experience with the direction indicator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoesBologna Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I am also having this problem. I've been trying to get my compass to calibrate by turning off/on location services for the compass. My actual compass app seems to be correct, but my heading indicator is 180 out. Ill keep an eye on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rragan Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Giving your phone a series of rapid back and forth and circular motions helps mine. It's essentially a compass calibration process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
