To enable the compass and try to find your
current position, press the Navigator key. If
the circle around the compass is red, the
compass is not calibrated. To calibrate the
compass, rotate the device around all axes
with your wrist in a continuous movement
until the circle is green. When you rotate
the device, make sure that the device
display momentarily faces toward the ground.

If the circle is yellow, the calibration accuracy is low, and you should continue
rotating the device. When the compass is enabled and the circle around the
compass is green, the map view turns automatically according to which direction
the top of the device is pointing.
