Headings in GPS

$

Hi,

My app is GPS-aware. To test it, I implemented a crude GPS simulator, which is basically a timer that generates events. Subscribers get a longitude/latitude pair read from a file. Now my app needs heading information. My question is, do I use the heading that comes with CLocation manager or do I write my own? I read that only devices with a hardware compass can have heading and this limits my clients' base. I also cant use the simulator fully since it does not calculate headings. On the other hand, if I implement my own heading calculations, every phone will be able to run the application (no need of hardware compass) and I will also be able to use my simulator.

Thank you, donescamillo@gmail.com
