The compass is active when there is a green outline. If the

compass needs calibration, the outline of the compass is red

or yellow. To calibrate the compass, rotate the device around

all axes in a continuous movement.
The compass has limited accuracy. Electromagnetic fields,

metal objects, or other external circumstances may also

affect the accuracy of the compass. The compass should

always be properly calibrated.
