Other Functions

Using Mountings (Compass and Barometer):

Compass:

When riding outdoors, you often face the dilemma of getting lost. The Carpuride screen with a compass can help you find the right direction while riding outdoors by showing the direction of the Earth's magnetic field.

Screenshot of the Carpuride interface displaying a compass with a needle pointing North, and a numerical reading of 169°. Below, a pressure reading of '1004.00 hPa' is shown.

Notes on First Use of the Compass:

1. The compass must be manually calibrated in its initial state. In an environment without strong magnetic interference, rotate the Carpuride screen upwards and draw 3-5 circles in the shape of an '8' in the air.

Diagram illustrating the figure-eight motion for compass calibration, with a Carpuride device shown at the end of the motion.

1. If the device is exposed to strong magnetism during use, the compass display value will be slightly incorrect. Please remove the Carpuride screen from the motorcycle and recalibrate it. (Information on recalibration can be found in the notes on first use of the compass.)

Barometer:

When you are riding your bike and exploring the area, you may not know the altitude. A Carpuride screen with a barometer can display the current altitude by measuring changes in air pressure to ensure your safety while cycling.
