What to Do When Unable to Determine Direction at the Start of Mobile Navigation?

You can purchase a navigation device with higher map quality. Below is a relevant introduction about car navigation: 1. Introduction: A car navigation system (Car-Navigation) is a driving assistance device that helps users accurately locate their current position, calculate the journey based on a set destination, and guide users to their destination through map display and voice prompts. The operation of a car navigation system mainly relies on the Global Positioning System (GPS). A car navigation system is primarily composed of a chip, antenna, processor, memory, and screen. 2. Common functions: Map query, route planning, automatic navigation.
I often use my phone for navigation while driving, and have encountered the issue of erratic direction changes during startup many times. The possible causes could be an uncalibrated compass or weak GPS signal. I would first check if location services are enabled in the phone settings, then manually calibrate the compass - some phones require waving the device in a figure-eight pattern to update sensor data. In urban areas with tall buildings, GPS signals are easily interfered with, so I would move to an open area or position the phone towards the sky through the car window. Before starting navigation, ensure the phone's rotation isn't locked, and wait for the direction to stabilize in the app before moving. If it still doesn't work properly, updating the navigation software or restarting the phone often helps. Developing a habit of opening the navigation app early to pre-warm the positioning direction before departure can prevent panic on the road. These small things just require spending a bit of time to handle.
