Hey, thank you for the great tutorial! I've got it working flawlessly on iOS, but there appears to be an issue on Android - North is always in the direction the phone is pointing when the page loads, and if you're not looking north, all the directions are miscalculated. Have you faced this issue and were you able to overcome it?
