Frequently Asked Questions
-
The accuracy of a digital compass depends on your phone's or device's sensors. Magnetic interference from metal structures or electronics can affect it. If the direction seems inaccurate, try recalibrating the device by moving it in a figure-eight pattern. You can also use the visual line on our interactive map and align it with nearby streets or buildings in Istanbul.
