If your arrow is pointing in the wrong direction or not moving, make sure that:

The location services are enabled from the settings of your device (see Android or Apple Support).
Your device is connected to a data network.
You are standing outside in order to obtain a good GPS signal.
Your compass is calibrated.
Your device incorporates a magnetic sensor (Verify on the manufacturer's website).
Your device isn't near metallic or magnetic objects (for example: magnetic closures or metal cases can alter the position of the compass). The magnetic sensors are very sensitive to interference.

Note: You might also need to update to the latest version of your OS.
