I have issues with the compass not pointing in the right direction using Google Maps and any compass app?

Hi guys.
I recently received the google maps 6 update.
Subsequently the compass isn't detected or used anymore.
The compass is working,I checked with other apps.
I'm also missing the config dialog that was present in older maps version to configure the use of internal sensors.
Is it just me?
An I missing something?

Update
Reverted back to gmaps 5.1 and the compass works again.
Google skymap is strange too: no GPS fix, it didn't even try.GPS icon doesn't appear at all.
Gonna try gearth in a moment.

same problem on my lg optimus 2x under cyanogenmod.
Same problem on my Lg-p970 on 2.3 But 2.2 is Good.
Same problem on my Moto RAZR Maxx on4.0.4 but 2.3.5 & 2.3.6 is Good.
I hope i can do something to fix it.
My Google Maps compass didn't work after updating from 5.12 to 6.7 on Android4.0
when i change to CM7, it worked again , is there anyone has the same problem?

To make the magnet works place it on the right.
We haven't gyro :'( .
Someone should create an app that uses the accelerometer instead of the gyroscope (i.e. Sky Map)
I am thinking of getting Google VR Cardboard but don't know if it is compatible with Moto G3 since the device doesn't have gyroscope sensor.
So is there anyone out there who is using this VR Headset with Moto G3 ?
There are very few apps that use the compass and accelerometer instead of the gyroscope like this one: Space VR demo for Cardboard.
But most of the cardboard apps won't work with Moto G3
This may be slightly off topic, but it is something I noticed regarding Google's apps with photospheres and this phone's lack of a gyroscope. Opening a photosphere in Google Photos or Google Plus, you cannot navigate the sphere by moving your device. However, in Google Street View you can, and it works quite well. This tells me that there is enough sensor output that we SHOULD be allowed to attempt to make a photosphere with Google Camera, but it is disabled for this device. I wish they'd use whatever tech they use in Street View in their other apps that require motion tracking.

It would be more efficient if Motorola would calculate approximate rotation based on the raw data of the two accelerometers and the magnetometer in the Moto G3 and offer this via the standard gyroscope API of Android. This way all apps which rely on gyroscope could benefit from this.
Otherwise every app developer would have to implement both methods like Google Streetview apparently does. Unlikely that many developers are willing to do this.
Did anyone try this xposed module ? (i haven't since I did not root my phone yet):
VirtualSensor is an Xposed module that aims at creating a virtual gyroscope in Android. It does so by using values from both the accelerometer and the compass thus deducing the angular rate on the 3 axis.

Edit: Meh... seems it doesn't work... But the project is not dead (last commit on October 2nd)

Hello.
Anyone had issues with Google Maps Timeline, with wrong tracking of position ? Look at the screenshot.
I always had this issue. I am using RUI3, not root.
Any solution ?
Thanks.
