Rotating map in Everytrail?


Posted on Nov 16, 2010 by Happy Panda

The app works perfectly with BTStack GPS except for the fact that the map cannot rotate when your direction is changed.

I use both HOLUX M1000 and Keychin GPS.

If you look at this image below in the link there is a button in the bottom left with a N on it. I cannot see this while I am using the app. Is there any way that this feature can be used with a gps Bluetooth?

Thank you for a great app.

hi. can you please explain a bit more what you expect there and what does not work. I have no influence on other navigation apps. Most Bluetooth GPS devices don't have a compass, if that's what you're missing. Navigation apps like tom tom either calculate the direction based on the track or use the course calculated by BTstack GPS while moving.

I understand that you can not change other app i was just wondering if it was possible. I guess it is not possible without a digital compass..

right. I also think that rotating the external GPS to the right and seeing the map on the iPhone rotate to the left, but rotating the iPhone without changes won't give you the same intuitive feeling of the build-in compass.
