What sensors do I need for navigation? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm thinking about buying a Moto E (3rd generation).
There's no gyroscope and compass built it. So does the navigation work properly?
Not sure if this is the right forum. Please excuse me if it's not.
Cheers,

Getting a working compass

We all know of our gps problems, not getting as much discussion is the compass which is just as bad.
I got a bluetooth gps as a work-around for the first issue, but what of the compass?
Is a a ROM which is considered superior in getting the compass working?
Or is there a way to bluetooth a compass to the phone, if not?

Digital Compass?

right i was doing some benchmarking of the new firmware (2.3.20) and i clicked system information in quadrant and at the botom under sensors it states an accelerometer, archos compass and archos magnetic field. does anyone have any idea on how and where these are used? thankyou for your help
These captor are virtual, simulated for Android to work, that's all ^^
ah dissapointing :/ thankyou for you help
Unfortunately, none of the Archos Gen8 devices have magnetic compass/gps capabilities (I think you can install a bluetooth one though). I was pretty disappointed when I found out why the metal detector app wasn't working.
Yes, bluetooth GPSs work fine - I use one, but I don't think any of them include a compass, unfortunately. Google sky maps would be awesome on a tablet.
When you start Sensor List and put near device strong magnet - compass data begin change ...
i get readings from the compass using the sensor list app, nothing from the magnetic field though :/
I get no change moving a strong magnet all over my 101.
But they are sending some of the accelerometer data to the simulated compass for some reason. Probably useless.

Gyroscope and other sensors

Hi All,
Just want to know if it has Gyroscope, like other tablets. And also, what other sensors does it have ???

Keyboard for Moto 360 2015?

Ive done some searching, and can only find info on installing Minuum on the Moto 360, through the pc. The moto 360 2015 doesnt have this ability (unless Im completely missing something) and was wondering if its at all possible to install Minuum, or the Microsoft Analog Keyboard Project on the Moto 260 2015 model. I attempted to use bluetooth debugging to install the analog keyboard using Apps2Wear app from my phone, but keep getting an error stating that Bluetooth debugging isnt turned on on my phone, or through the android wear app, meanwhile theyre both turned on.
Yes, my LG G4 is rooted, so I meet that requirement. Is there any way to sideload Minuum, or the Analog keyboard on the Moto 360 2015 edition? Its driving me nuts, as I work in a fairly loud environment and using OK google doesnt really work too well. Plus Id like to be able to reply in private without having to speak to my watch.

Does Moto 360 sport work with Bearing or other compass apps?

Figure since it's meant for outdoors it would have a magnetometer for compass apps. I've heard it both ways so far. Can somebody confirm that the app Bearing or any other compass app works with this watch?
NOT CompassX app, by the way, as it uses gyroscope/accelerometers to gauge direction, which isn't at all accurate.
Does not have a sensor for magnetic field. You can get compass via gps bearing wich sucks
