 * The compass service provides a compass heading in degrees as a value between 0.0 and 359.99,
 * where a value of 0.0 represents north.
 *
 * The CompassService provides a read-only {@link #headingProperty() heading property}
 * that is updated at regular intervals by the underlying platform implementation. A user of the
 * CompassService can listen to changes of the heading, by registering a
 * {@link javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener ChangeListener} to the
 * {@link #headingProperty() heading property}.
 *
 * 
Example
 *  * {@code Services.get(CompassService.class).ifPresent(service -> {
 *      double heading = service.getHeading();
 *      System.out.printf("Current heading: %.2f", heading);
 *  });}
