Claim 16:
17. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors of a mobile device, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, by 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.
