^However with your plan you will need to know which way North is to begin with so I do not see the benefits of having it.

A) North would be set up the first time you run the app
B) The map thing would be a nice feature to have, just cuz it orients the map in the direction that you are traveling

is there any possible way to find the nearest tower to the phone. find its location and figure up the compass off of its location. like if the tower is east of you then it could find north and bouce around that info lol? just a shot in the dark here.

or even use the map to find a city nearby and figure up a compass based on that.
