does Mappero rotate a map to the North with this accessory?

My experience with the N900 GPS is that it doesn't point the direction you are looking at only when you are stationary. For knowing what constellation you are looking at, that thing can help.

For mappero to rotate a map to the north while being stationary it won't. But why do you need a map if you don't intend to move?

Anyway my point was and still remains a digital compass doesn't exist. It's not the end of the world. If you move 5 paces, you'll know where you're pointing. If you don't want to move..use that.

That's a digital measuring device (digital caliper). It will determine size of things. So, no.

(ha!)

digital compass offers some amazing functionality in my opinion, see this real life situation with Google sky for example:

I vote for Multi-touch resistive is not capable on the N900

and get totally ignored by Nokia, even though the early adopters that paid the high price for this device are having their warranties end in the meantime.

I can't even sell this POS because its broken, so I won't be buying another Nokia smartphone for awhile. Not because I don't want to, but I can't recoup enough money via resale to afford it. So for the first time since 2000, I have no phone. Sad for a phone freak like me...

Gotta say it, Nokia. FAIL, FAIL, FAIL.

Yes, Google Sky Map is excellent. Ask a friend with a Droid to let you give it a try. It's fast and accurate. The sky is the limit.

well i like to think we live in a multivers. and as a consiquence of unlimitied possibilities, the dissasembled atoms that make my n900 today will someday be reasembled into a device with both a magnetic compass and PR1.3. until that time ill have to make do with walkng a few metres or hopin theres a clear sky (although i live in Wales so a clear sky is probably further in the future than my reasembled n900 relative)

In my experience the GPS never gets more precise than a few meters, so you would need to take several steps to get a reasonable aproximate bearing
