yep, and the vast majority do not change it, thus 'rarely changed'.

the bundled compass app is designed for the masses.

no reason to clutter up the app for only one toggle.


A radio button or slider is not clutter - it's also a reminder to the
use of which mode he is in. Indeed, a mode status that says "MAG" or
"TRUE" at the top which can be "held" for 2 seconds to flip the state
would cover status indication and the ability to change it.
