ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF

An electronic device includes sensors, a display, and a processor electrically connected to the sensors and the display, in which the electronic device is in a first running mode for permanently providing compass information or a second running mode for providing the compass information, in response to a request from a user. When set to be in the first running mode, the processor a performance mode of a digital compass to be a first performance mode, determines first performance mode-based compass information using the sensors, and displays the determined first performance mode-based compass information on the display. When set to be in the second running mode, the processor sets the performance mode of the digital compass to be a second performance mode, determines second performance mode-based compass information using the sensors at the request from the user, and displays the determined second performance mode-based compass information on the display.
