Compass issue with the Google maps and other maps apps - Android 10

[CbIP]

Hello!
I have just faced with an issue with the compass. Most of the time (>70% of cases) when I open the Google maps (or any other maps app) it shows the wrong direction. E.x. I am walking north and the app shows that I am faced south as if I was walking my back forward. After calibrating the compass everything becomes back to normal until next time.
I use a plastic case (which came with the phone): it should not interfere with the compass/magnetometer. The firmware is: WW_17.1810.1910.73 (Android 10). The phone is not rooted and the bootloader is not unlocked.
This issue annoys me because I often use maps for pedestrian navigation. Besides that this is the second Zenfone 6 I own. The first one was replaced/refurbished due to camera defect.
This time though I believe it is a software bug because after calibration the compass works well until a restart.
I am attaching a screenshot to show the bug. The red arrow shows my real direction and the Google maps sector shows that I am faced ~90 degrees clockwise.This is not even the worst case I got.
In this thread: https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/comment/13349 it is said that the issue has been fixed, but it hasn't.
Could anybody help me with the issue?

But don't you think this "Android dance" is quite inconvenient and embarrassing to perform in the public every time I want to get somewhere by foot and don't know the route and direction.
Sure, I agree with you.
Hopefully we will see a real fix soon.

That would be great because overall I like the phone very much.
BTW, @LP_ASUS , @Anders_ASUS I am ready to collect and send the debug information/logs/etc. if needed to help the development and test the fix.

Well, the issue regularly occurs as long as I want to use a maps app. Is the bug recognized/confirmed by Asus? Will it be fixed?

I decided to perform a factory reset and it didn't help. Usually when I start a maps app it shows my direction 90° clockwise compared to the real.
I have also posted a thread on another forum, and got a reply that even if a custom ROM is used the compass has the same issue. Thus we can assume that this is a kernel bug.
Still hope that this issue will be fixed soon. @LP_ASUS @Anders_ASUS what do you think?

@CbIP , I apologize for the late response. I didn't notice this thread until today. Since you performed a factory reset and that hasn't resolved the issue, let's log your phone. I'll send you a PM with instructions.
