So I rest the phone against the side of the mount and slew it around till it sais 159 degrees.magic. I shall do as Brent said next time theres a fine day.In view of that,heres a site that gives the details.

Be careful, a lot of phones compasses are thrown out by the metal in your mount.
A shadow at solar noon is a fail-safe way to do it and incredibly accurate.
