Does the G5 have a compass

[AC Question]

I have a Moto G4 with no facility to install a compass, dose the G5 have the software to install a compass?.

The G5 does have a compass, yes. No need for software to install it. You may want https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...ils?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&token=J5fF_sUA to run it, though.

The USA version will have one. Others that have NFC do not have a compass sensor.

A hardware magnetic sensor is built only in US market version of G5. That means the Americans, and only them, can use compass software.

No other version of G5 sold worldwide has built-in hardware magnetic field sensor. Including all European editions, what is a little surprising.
