Do you even know how compass works? Lol
If you have 2 phones, one with plate one without plate or any metal nearby, start up both compass and you will notice the differenceEven the maker mountek Malaysia admit this in their website

Wrong.. I've tested this and no difference. Ever heard of carbon steel? Been using mine to navigate almost every single day and never an issue. Waze, Google Maps, Papago, Uber, Grab, Nokia Here WeGo, Automate, GPS Status & Toolbox, etc.. I've tested and use these apps regularly and interchangeably with a mountek plate right on top of my NFC-Enabled battery, under the phone case. It's a Samsung Galaxy note 3 with a removable cover if asking.. Do you even know how navigation software work or heard of carbon steel and magnetic fields? Bet you are probably one of those who also believe that having such a metal plate will wipe the phone's memory. FYI, phones run on SSD and are not susceptible as spinning HD.
Hundreds of thousands of such magnetic mounts sold. So yeah, long-term Mountek user here... multiple devices, no GPS lock, compass, NFC or navigation issues. Just wanted to clarify this before we get back on topic.
