Bug Description

On my turbo the compass is not working. This shows in:

- uNav navigation is always pointing north, even when moving in other directions (in navigation mode however I believe this is workarounded with app code)
- Compass app (https://github.com/andrejcampa/compass) only gives "-1" always

Not filing under location-service since it probably doesn't deal with hardware specific problems.

Maybe this https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/1099 - not sure though if it fixes the turbo specific issue of not showing compass data even with that unconstrained Compass app or not, but surely related.

I know there was a change to add magnetometer. I am not sure of its landing.

Compass uses a magnetometer and sometimes of sensors to come up with azimuth.

Correction to last comment, compass sometimes uses other sensors (low level)
