Compass
The compass sensor follows the same pattern as the others. The Compass class has identical members to Inclinometer and Gyrometer, except the readings returned are of type CompassReading. CompassReading exposes three properties:
→ HeadingMagneticNorth—A double representing the magnetic-north heading in degrees.
→ HeadingTrueNorth—A nullable double representing the true-north heading in degrees. This can’t always be determined, so the property is null in such cases.
→ Timestamp—The date and time that the measurement was taken; a DateTimeOffset, like all the other Timestamp properties.
