That is what I was talking about but...

...you are most certainly right. My point was rather obsolete since when it "is there" we will probably have compasses in the maemo devices anyway. I just meant many people are equating AR with the need for a compass, which is a misnomer.

Do I repeatedly do that? Haven't realized, thanks for pointing it out... If I do it is neither meant to bang my own drum, insinuate that what I say is the truth nor offend anyone. My apologies if it comes over that way and I will try to tone it down. I just do it because I remember what I have written, feel it is suitable in the context and don't want to repeat myself.
