Dear Satguru, I am sorry for the delay in replying, on the android Xperia X10, this is possible using various applications like eyes free shell, Talking compass etc. On Nokia phones where the compass is built in, the ovi maps give the information on the direction your phone top edge is heading.
Hope this is helpful. -----Original Message----- From: Satguru Rathi [mailto:tarannumra...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2011 12:03 PM To: mrmukeshsha...@gmail.com; accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] Direction indicator Dear Mukesh ji, What is compass? and how one would know whether his phone has this or not?

Check if you have compass on the phone? The OVI maps will give you the direction information, you may also check some other application in the OVI store. On android phone, there is a very cool app, talking compass, giving you the exact direction.
