Yes, the digital compass in the G1 is self calibrating, but you have to make figure 8's or similar to make it do it, this isn't something you can do in software, the Android OS has magnetic field projections for the earth and if the current reading falls outside a specific range either something is artificially influencing it, such as the magnetic field in metals or electromagnetic fields caused by electronics and cars etc, or it needs calibration. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
