Hi Don, If you have the iPhone in your shirt pocket with the top of the phone up, then the touch screen has to be against your body. You can always experiment with this by opening the compass app, point your phone straight ahead of you holding it flat in your hand or lay it on a table. Then hold it vertically as if it was in your pocket with the touch screen facing you, if you are pointing in the same direction the compass reading will be the same or very close. Now turn it around with the back of the phone facing you and you will notice that the compass reading reverses, e.g. if you were pointing straight North before at or close to 0 degrees, by turning the phone Voiceover should announce that you are now facing south or close to 180 degrees.

In order to receive correct directional readings when I am walking with my iPhone carried vertically in my shirt pocket, must the screen be facing my body or must it be facing away from me? Sorry for the convoluted sentence structure. Don Roberts -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
