Compass guide to GPS destination

Question

I want to rotate an ImageView with an arrow from the current user location to some previously saved GPS location. How do I do this?

Is the Initial Bearing got from the Location.distanceBetween method the right way to go on this? If so, how do I use it with the compass readings?

I'm looking for the same answer. Have you found something yet? — Peter Fortuin, Jul 22 '11 at 09:19

You can use the bearingTo method in Location class, then retrieve the current bearing using the SensorManager.getOrientation method.

Finally, adding both results, draw the arrow.

Hope it helps.
