Hello, i used your alternative way with «Online Maps Inspector / Help / Check Updates» to download the last beta 2.4.0.30.
The new compass threshold option solved my problem... The map rotation is now very stable.
Thank you for quick help.

Sometimes Unity Editor does not display these menu items.
Unfortunately, I do not know why.
You can use alternative way «Online Maps Inspector / Help / Check Updates».

P.S. In Online Maps v2.4.0.11+, Check Updates, Playmaker Integration Kit and About now located in GameObject / Infinity Code / Online Maps.

Thank you for this quick answer.
I didn't found the menu entry "Chek updates" under "Component / Infinity Code / Online Maps"
The documention on this part seems easy
"Online Maps has built-in update system, using which you can update Online Maps to the latest version and get early access to all versions and updates. Click «Component / Infinity Code / Online Maps / Check Updates», to open the window checking for updates".
... But i can't see this update possibility.
My Unity version is 5.3.4f1 and Online Maps is 2.3.0.18

Hello.

Please update Online Maps through built-in update to the latest beta version.
Online Maps v2.4.0.23+ has a compass threshold.

Using Compass sensor in android phone

Hi,
I tried to integrate in my Unity application a Tile map oriented from data given by Compass sensor on Android phone
I found a simple script code in Atlas of examples "Rotate the camera on a compass" (http://infinity-code.com/atlas/online-maps/)

using UnityEngine;
public class CameraWithCompass : MonoBehaviour {
private void Start()
{
OnlineMapsLocationService.instance.OnCompassChanged += OnCompassChanged;
}

private void OnCompassChanged(float f)
{
OnlineMapsTileSetControl.instance.cameraRotation.y = f * 360;
}
}

Attached to the map object this script works quite fine, but the map rotation on phone is too much jerky...
I would like to know if there is a simple way to modify the script code above using average information from compass,... or reduce this sensor sensibility.
