If you get lost in the forest, unplug your phone and open the Compass compass application. Compass application is part of the iOS operating system for many years, but it seems to be forgotten in many other utilities that come with the iPhone. Compass uses a magnetometer chip to sense the Earth's magnetic field, so you can use it offline. However, to be more accurate you should use it with GPS.

You should leave the phone on the plane when using Compass to give the best results, find directions and escape the forest. You can only navigate in the North direction if Location Service is enabled and online otherwise you can only use the North word.
