I think that's actually the only thing you really need for it to work. Not
sure how an accelerometer would help figuring out what direction the phone
has?
The accelerometer can allow you to know what directions the phone
"went", and 3d orientation (rotations and stuff). The compass, would
just be for "calibration", because you can trust them all them time
(just put a compass above an long iron piece, and you will see it
"move" from the original direction).
