HTC HD2 user should be happy to know that the latest version Google Maps Mobile (3.3.1) now supports the device’s digital compass. All you have to do is to tap on the my location icon on the botom right and a littil blue arrow will display on the map (in place of the blue dot). the tip of the arrow will basically be the top of you device. For example, if you point your device to the south the arrow will point to the south on the map, etc..Grab it here. Maybe Samsung Omnia II user can try it and see if it works on their device too?
