Does the bezel turn to aid in directional travel using the compass?

In aiding... of course. It designates your Azimuth... Have you ever used a compass before ? It's a spin dial to tell you degree's.

if you use google maps to WALK the magnet will screw up the compass. the phone will not be able to tell your true direction. it shows you walking in the opposite or at a 90 degree angle from the the way you are truly facing. you must pop the phone out of the case away from the magnet to use the WALKING feature. i have not had the same issues with driving with google maps or waze app. it just happens in walking mode.

I do not recall that there were much in the way of instructions with the compass. But I have found instruction on the internet. Example <http://lensaticcompass.blogspot.com&g;t;. Hope this helps.

Yes you can center your location or starting Lat and Long and a directional arrow will point out the way you need to go.

Yes. There are small colored dots on the top of the faucet that indicate direction to be turned. Nice faucet. Be sure to incllude all parts in installation. My contractor ommited a base ring and the faucet is not water-tight where it joins the counter.

It's used for sighting the course you intend to follow. As you turn the compass to the magnetic direction you want to go the sight wire shows you where that direction is in the distance or on the horizon. It gives you a more precise reading to follow.

it doesn't have an built in compass, but it hooks up well enough that if you walk in one direction for twenty feet or so it will show you the direction of travel. I love it. Hope that helps. Dave

I have taken trails that I have never been on, turned the Tracker on and the arrow will point to the direction back to camp. It doesn't show the route you took....It is a High Tech Compass and it will count down in meters as you get closer to camp.

I don't have the compass with me... it's out on loan, but the dial face is about 2.5 - 3.0 inches.

Since I attached the magnet the compass still works OK but the directional arrow on google maps rotates randomly, makes it very difficult to know which way your traveling. After I removed the magnet the phone still acts the same way.I can't be sure if the magnet was the cause but its pretty broken now and it may be as its quite an old iPhone 4S or that the magnet permanently damaged it, hope this helps.

not really. I found this contraption useless, as it only indicates a direction to follow, regardless of obstacles on the route. I quickly offered it to a "good friend"...

Yes, the phone can be rotated from landscape to portrait. The mount has a pretty nice range of movement to get your perfect viewing angle.

Yes, but always bring a regular compass and learn how to use it. Electronic compasses need batteries!

If you're right handed, put your left hand on the top center of the bezel , your right hand holding the bottom center of the bezel . Gently push the top backwards while gently pulling the bottom toward you. I think it tilts back only 15 degrees and forward only four degrees. It doesn't sound like very much, but it's actually quite sufficient

I've never used that feature, but yes, it does have a compass. As I understand it you create routes and mark points.

Yes! However, you have to make sure you select the rotation tab in the settings menu.

It does not have a magnetic compass. However it does have a "compass function" which gives you your direction based on GPS data. In other words it can tell you you're going 50 degrees N/NE, while you're moving. But you can't stand in one place and get a direction for north, like you would with a regular compass.
