Hi TRF colleagues,

I want to make sure that my iPhone compass is calibrated as well as possible.

For that to happen, I understand, the iPhone needs to have a clear line of sight to the sky. However, I also have these questions, please:

  • First, does it help to have cellular data turned on, or is that irrelevant one way or the other?
  • And second, does it hurt to have Wi-Fi turned on? Should I make sure that Wi-Fi is turned off? Or again, is that irrelevant one way or the other?

Thank you.

Stanley
