But, I can understand why you would want users to not have to leave your app. Otherwise as far as I can tell you'll need to do some custom coding in xcode. Here is a bit of the documentation on the compass. https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/SafariDOMAdditions/Reference/DeviceOrientationEventClassRef/DeviceOrientationEvent/DeviceOrientationEvent.html#//apple_ref/javascript/instp/DeviceOrientationEvent/webkitCompassHeading Comments Hi tom70154, The easiest way to do this is to just ask the users to use the compass as most folks using an iphone today are pretty comfortable with switching between applications.
