Micro:bit heading direction

Hello,
I am using the DFRobot Maqueen kit where the micro:bit is mounted vertically. I wanted to use the accelerometer and/or magnetometer to traverse a map or draw a path, for example. Start pointing towards North and then move 15 cms, turn 45 degrees to the left/west and so…
I noticed that the compass heading cannot be used effectively to find the orientation when mounted vertically. Is there an alternative method using “magnetic force uT” block
Warm regards

Hey MINTGenie,
have you found any solution on this? I am also using Maqueen and I want to use the accelerometer in order to find out if there is any error moving forward.
Best,
Ioannis
