Default GPS / Camera pointing

Hi all,

How to get Camera direction of GPS enabled phone?

All i found about GPS is that it just tells the location of the device, how do one get the direction where camera is pointing with GPS?

For example, how do we work out which direction the camera is pointing so that I can see the direction I'm viewing (north, south, east and west)

Can anyone assist me on this or any suggestion tutorials or website to look at?

Much appreciated.

GPS wont tell you that. If your phone has a magnetometer / compass then the API for accessing that will be the right place to go
