[Loadstone] Haptic compass etc.

[Jacob Kruger]

If you check out this page, it's a write up relating to a haptic compass 
that I think vibrates to let you know if facing north or something:

Just wondering if something like it could be of any use in loadstone, or 
maybe rather something like just a form of immediate vibration or something 
if you are no longer heading towards your next check point or something - 
who knows...

I do know that pressing the number 1 key while in navigation mode will tell 
you the compass direction you're travelling in, and that pressing the 
selection key tells you the heading/distance of the next checkpoint, but if 
walking in the outside world, you might not want to/be able to get to/use 
the phone manually as such all the time, and while it does also 
automatically tell you every now and then, and more often when closer, it's 
just a thought.

Stay well
