I've seen this UI in other apps, and I absolutely fucking hate it. Google Maps was a particularly egregious offender, where rotating the device or calibrating the compass would prompt for feedback, usually in the middle of trying to use a map. And who shakes a device in annoyance anyway?!

No kidding. Especially annoying when using Google Maps and driving a stick shift.

The stick shift gesture should notify the police of your location and destination.
