À propos de l'application

Master the 32 points of the compass and "box the compass" like a seasoned sea captain!
Whether you are a student of a maritime career, a sailing enthusiast, or simply someone looking to improve your navigational skills, Learn the Compass is the ultimate interactive tool to help you master the traditional 32-point compass.

🧭 Interactive Learning
Experience a compass that feels real. Use your device’s internal magnetic sensor for real-world orientation, or practice manually by dragging the compass. With smooth animations and haptic feedback, you’ll feel every click as you rotate through the headings.

🎓 Multiple Levels of Detail
Tailor your learning experience with four distinct levels of complexity:
• Level 1: The 4 Cardinal points (N, S, E, W).
• Level 2: The 8 Intercardinal points.
• Level 3: The 16 Principal points.
• Level 4: The full 32-point maritime compass.

🕹️ Gamified Quiz Modes
Put your knowledge to the test with three unique and challenging quiz styles:
1. Compass to Name (Construction): Assemble the correct name of the highlighted point using direction components (e.g., "North," "by," "East").
2. Compass to Name (Choice): Quickly identify the correct heading from a list of options.
3. Name to Compass (Interactive): We give you a heading, and you must physically rotate the compass to the precise position.
