Claim 8:
9. A mobile device, comprising:
one or more sensors;
one or more processors;
memory coupled to the one or more processors and configured to store instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, by the one or more sensors of the mobile device, sensor data;
determining, by the one or more processors, a variation in orientation of the mobile device based on the sensor data;
determining, by the one or more processors, that the variation in orientation of the mobile device is less than a threshold value; and
responsive to determining that the variation in orientation of the mobile device is less than the threshold value:
determining compass offset data for a compass view based on the sensor data and map data;
determining a corrected compass view based on the compass offset data;
determining a direction of travel for the mobile device;
determining a mean compass offset from compass offset data provided by a plurality of mobile devices at a location of interest over a period of time;
comparing the mean compass offset to a second threshold value; and
responsive to the comparing, presenting the corrected compass view.
