The Nokias 5800 Express Music was the first popular phone with a Digital Compass (Magnetometer) built in. Basically, on that phone, its sole function is to assist the GPS to know which direction you are heading.

Apple developers went one step further.

This is the map overlay feature, combining camera, GPS and the compass. The App will be available for US$1.80 and one day it will eventually come to Malaysia.

Hmm, anybody have Rm 2000 for an iPhone 3GS from Maxsucks?
