I recently purchased (2) Samsung Galaxy Core Prime phones through Verizon.  When using Google Maps there is no directional arrow on the "blue dot" showing the direction I am facing.  Samsung has told me there is a digital compass as part of the phone.  Verizon says it should be working and the issue is probably with Google.  It shows fine with my Galaxy tablet and Google Maps so I'm not sure what the issue can be.  Is it possible for Verizon to be in error and be disabling the digital compass on the phone?
