Calibrating the magnetic Compass in the Nokia 5230?

I  have read somewhere that there is a proceeding to calibrate the magnetic compass on the 5230,  and my questions are:

 

1) The 5230 has a magnetic compass built in it?  Where  it is documented?

2) It is used in navigation using Ovi Maps? How and when?

3) How I  can calibrate it, making the 360 turn, as suggested elsewhere? On what screen/menu  is the function selected?

 

Thanks

Dear,

 

 

FIrst of all update your nokia and ovi maps on Nokia Suite

To know about compass keep your cell in open i.e. under open sky with no roofing or building obstacles

 

Press menu

 

Icon with "Location" will appear or otherwise go to applications there you find "Location"

 

Press Location

 

Go to "GPS Data"

 

You will find compass on Navigation icon

 

 

Regards
