If you switch to compass view in google maps you will see it's already working.

It's not a setting. It's a feature of google maps. You must have the correct version though.

Just install the "compass" app in the marketplace and you'll see the compass working.
It doesn't matter if you have an Android, iOS, WP7, or any other OS based device. Just enjoy what you have and share with the rest of us.

On the latest google maps version there is a compass mode toggle button. Top bar, far right.
