How to turn on the compass on Apple Maps

Simultaneously using maps and compasses is always useful when you need to find your way. Unfortunately, the default Apple Maps mode does not display both. The following tutorial will help you see the compass and the map at the same time with just a few small tips.

The compass function is integrated into the iPhone from the introduction of the iPhone 3G in 2009, and the Apple Maps was born around 2012. Although it is convenient, the compass is not displayed by default in Maps. If you want to display both the compass and the map, it is not difficult, pick up the phone and follow the instructions below.

Step 1: Open the Settings section and select Maps.
Step 2: In the list that appears, select Driving & Navigation.

Step 3: Next, in the Show in Navigation section, turn on the Compass feature by dragging the slider to green.
Step 4: Now open the Apple Maps map application . If you don't see the compass icon in the right corner, select the Location arrow (in the picture below) once to open it and tap the second time to move to the next step.

By touching the arrow twice, you have moved from seeing only the compass icon on the screen to the blue circle icon showing the current position, thereby helping to determine the direction on the map.

Compass not only displays on the map but also helps to navigate from one point to another in the form of letters (such as N - North direction, S - South direction, NE - Northeast direction .), not just in form symbol.
