title: How to get phone orientation from Google Maps API?
body: <p>I've tried implementing compass in my app and have used this code as example: <a href="http://www.techrepublic.com/article/pro-tip-create-your-own-magnetic-compass-using-androids-internal-sensors/" rel="nofollow">http://www.techrepublic.com/article/pro-tip-create-your-own-magnetic-compass-using-androids-internal-sensors/</a>. However, I was also wondering if there is a way to get phone orientation from Google Maps API or maybe some other API in existance? I've searched Google but found nothing. Thank you.</p>
