Using Location.getBearing(); I seem to get randomly changing bearings.
Aka, I can turn the device around slowly and it wont notice, it just chooses its own random bearings.
I know the device is working, as the “You are here” icon in the Maps app on the tablet slowly rotates as I rotate the device.
Is there a different proper way of getting bearing? I am using the GPS. Maybe there is a better way to determine which direction you are facing.
Try to get bearing from Accelerometer sensor and Magnetic Field (G-) sensor.
