A6. Speaker magnets and the alternator in your car can cause interference with the compass built into the 3GS iPhone. If this occurs, a popup will display asking you to move the iPhone away from the interference and re-calibrate by moving in a figure 8 pattern. Since this is unsafe while driving, you can simply tap on the popup and the map will switch from Direction Up to Course Up.
