Guest shaund316 Posted November 16, 2004 Report Posted November 16, 2004 hey, does anyone know if u can get a compass app for the c500, or do u need some kind of hardware inside it for this? ta
Guest pisquee Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 If you think about how a compass works, you are going to need some specific harware to do this. If you do not know how a compass works then google for it. My watch has an electronic compass built in, and it is not very good - you cannot beat a needle.
Guest shaund316 Posted November 18, 2004 Report Posted November 18, 2004 o ok its just cos my m8 wanted one for his nokia 62something and I wanted 2 see if software was available to do it, but its easier to find out for the c500 cos way more software, oh well no worries
Guest m4rcus Posted November 18, 2004 Report Posted November 18, 2004 it's not a hardware thing at all. the one that you get for nokias is an analogue clock face that you then line up the sun with the hour hand, south is halfway between the bighand and 12, therefore north is the other way... Just over halfway down.... therefore you can have a 'compass' on your phone.... :shock:

Guest m4rcus Posted November 18, 2004 Report Posted November 18, 2004 yes its a clock, but 'turns your phone into a compass'.... you can do it with a normal wrist watch...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted November 19, 2004 Report Posted November 19, 2004 This is a method of navigating when you do not have a compass. The post was asking for an actual compass which you would need some extra hardware such as a GPS unit.
Guest sponge Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 A friend at work showed me his new phone today and I was mightily impressed with the digital compass. Nokia 5140
