Hi Mark,
Never had an issue with the compass….always did the “wave a flag” method…only just using my wrist and not the entire arm.
Hint: Open maps, lock the keypad, do the wrist movement, unlock keylock and presto! compass callibrated!
no need to turn off autorotate……

Hmm, it works for me just fine with auto-rotate left switched on (I always have it on and I'm not going to bother switching it off every time I use maps). I flicked the phone just like in the video and it worked straight away.

Thanks for this video anyway, I spent ages trying to get my compass to calibrate before this; the instructions in the user guide are terrible!

It's not that bad. Just slide it open for landscape view.

But then your phone won't auto-rotate if you turn off the setting?

That's not worth it then if you ask me. I like using my phone in landscape mode.

wow, that is one hell of a lag for rotation.
