Do any one have idea for finding true direction using iPhone? I want to implement such application in which I need to find direction in which iPhone is pointing and want to make application same as compass application in iphone 3GS.

Does iPhone 3G supports compass functionality? And can any one tell me how compass application find directions so accurately like a real magnetic compass?

Please help me for this. I am in a critical situation.

Thanks in advance.
