My head's spinning - felt like I'd been through astronaut training for three months... Can the magnetometer adjust in landscape mode as it's a bit confusing having North being East!

Can the magnetometer adjust in landscape mode as it's a bit confusing having North being East!

Perhaps instead of "spinning", (which I can't really think of anything cooler than turning around to see what's sneaking up on you like in real life), perhaps implement just a 120degree angle to sweep infront of you in the game.
