Which Direction is a simple direction finder. Pick any place, and an arrow points you straight to it. See the bearing (degrees) and distance in real time, then hand off to Google Maps for turnβbyβturn navigation. An optional AR view overlays the arrow on your camera so you can line up your path outdoors.
How it helps
Never lose your bearings: the arrow shows where your target is relative to you.
Know the numbers: live heading, bearing-to-target, and distance (m/km).
Get there your way: open Google Maps for turn-by-turn navigation with one tap.
Works outdoors and in wide open spaces: handy for hiking, meetups, parked car, trailheads, geocaching, festivals, or finding a dropped pin.
