> has the wrong compass heading causing navigation to be completely useless.

In Feb 2010 I bought a Nexus One, my first Android phone. I noticed that a lot of times it thought I was facing in the opposite direction, far more than half the time, actually. So when finding directions, I generally needed to know how to get from where I was to the road it wanted without using the route it suggested because it would tell me to go the other way.

16 years later I still have the same problem with every single Android phone I've ever had. 80 to 85% of the time Android thinks I'm facing the other way. I wonder if there's some bug in my google account. It's weird.
