Possible usages are:
✔ save your parking spot and find it later;

Known problems and solutions
The compass may move too fast or inconsistently. While this may be a bug of GPS Status, it has been proven many times to be a calibration issue. In order to properly calibrate your compass you should hold your phone one-handed and then move and twist your hand to virtually draw an 8 (eight).
