If you ever find yourself having trouble navigating through Google Maps on your iPhone or iPad, it could be a sign that your compass is not properly calibrated. A faulty compass may cause the maps to show incorrect directions, leading to confusion and frustration for the user. Thankfully, calibrating the compass on Google Maps is quick and easy.

Step 1: Make sure Location Services are enabled on your device
Before calibrating the compass, ensure that Location Services are enabled on your iPhone or iPad. To do this, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and turn it on.

Step 2: Open Google Maps and access the calibration screen
Next, open Google Maps on your device and tap on the location icon at the bottom left corner of the screen. This will bring up a screen showing your current location with a blue dot. Now, tap on the blue dot and hold it for a few seconds until a circle appears around it.

Step 3: Move your device in a figure eight motion
Once the circle appears around the blue dot, move your iPhone or iPad in a figure-eight motion. This means holding the device level and rotating it 360 degrees horizontally and vertically. Make sure to keep the device level and move it slowly throughout the motion.

Step 4: Calibrate the compass
After moving your device in a figure eight motion, the calibration screen will appear. The screen will show two white targets with a dot in the middle. Your goal is to move the dot to the center of both targets by rotating your device until the dot is centered. Once the dot is centered in both targets, the calibration process is complete. You can then exit the calibration screen by tapping done.

In conclusion, calibrating the compass on Google Maps using an iPhone or iPad is a simple process. By following these four easy steps, users can ensure that they are getting accurate directions and prevent frustration when using the app. So the next time you find yourself having trouble navigating through Google Maps, try calibrating the compass to avoid any issues.
