Easily check your direction with Naver Maps Compass
Let’s learn about Naver Map Compass. Naver offers a variety of functions, and I was curious if there was a compass function, so I looked it up. Through the Naver Map app, you can check the north direction. It was not a detailed direction, but I was able to confirm the approximate north direction.

The app on the left is the Naver Map app. If you run it, you can check the information about your current location as shown on the right. On the Maps app, clicking the icon in the lower left corner displays the north direction as above. Based on north, you can see the approximate direction: East to the right, West to the left, and South to the opposite.
But in fact, I wasn’t sure if the direction above was really north. So, I checked the north through the Galaxy Compass, a feature of Galaxy itself. As a result of the check, the north direction of the Naver Map Compass and the north direction of the Galaxy Compass almost matched.

For reference, the model I’m using is the s9. I don’t know if all galaxies have that feature, but I ran the compass with the Galaxy Edge panel feature.

If you swipe the edge panel sideways, the screen above will appear. Click on ‘Compass’ here. A message saying ‘Move your phone in different directions’ appears. Calibration took longer than expected. When calibration is complete, you can check the north, south, east, west, as shown on the right. When you change direction with your smartphone, it tells you if you are heading north or east.
Personally, the Galaxy Compass feature is much more detailed, so I trust it. Still, the Naver Map app north and the Galaxy Compass north direction are similar, so it seems that you can check the north direction with the Naver Map app as well.
We learned how to check the north direction with Naver Map Compass and Galaxy Compass. Maps apps are so good these days that you don’t get lost very often. However, there are times when you need to check a south-facing house, or you need to check the east, west, north, and south within the house. For example, there is a superstition that refrigerators should not be placed in the west. In such a case, we recommend the compass function, which can be easily checked with a smartphone.
