GPS orientation in android

Question

I know that the Location.getBearing () function returns the bearing, if there is one when moving

 public void onLocationChanged(Location lastLocation)
  {
     int bearing=lastLocation.getBearing()
  }

so now it can be 170 degrees ... but I would like to know if there is something in the android that will give me the orientation direction (for example, for 170 degrees, direction: SSE south, southeast)

Answer 1

getBearing "returns the direction in degrees east of the true North." Make a simple switch on the bearing to get direction.

We also note that 170 ° is closer to S (180 °) than to SSE (157.5 °).
