Android Apps and the Compass [duplicate]
asked 2014-01-08 17:41:17 +0300
Just recently managed to get Stellarium Mobile up and running. Works pretty well, but it does not seem to be able to read the compass so you cannot get live panning of the sky. I have previously noted that NavFree also does not seem to be able to use the compass (so when the car is stationary NavFree has no idea which way you are pointing).
So a feature request: can we please give Android apps the ability to use the Jolla's compass?
In some apps compass is working. At least Smart Tools and SKeye are working for me with 1.0.2.5.
