[Q] GPS: The ARROW on google map doesn't show the right direction you're headding?

[noblejose]

Hi There!
Rather a strange question; Why I can't navigate with this tab as I do with my mobile phone?

My device: Note 10.1 2014 (SM-P605) with 3G active and GPS on.

Situation: I'm trying to find a way from one place to other, normally the arrow head in Google map shows where you're heading.. and It should keep updating the arrow head and rotate the map direction when you rotate your device (think you turn around with the tab in hand)... But in this case, it is not happening.. Anyone facing same issue? The Google Navigation is NOT working as it should be.

Weak magnetic field sensor? software bug? Faulty sensors? or what could be the reason?? Thanks for your help!

You could try a software update, see the latest firmware here, just put P605 in the search box:

You can also try a gps calibration app and see if that helps:

NAVIGATION working for any one?

I have tried GPS Calibration, GPS is working fine. I am able to get my exact location in Google map. If I move with tab, the location pointer is also updating accordingly. But the PROBLEM is that The ARROW POINTING TOWARDS WRONG DIRECTION

Looks like its a problem with magnetic sensor?
