About this app

Northwise is a compass and GPS app that does everything in one place, beautifully. Open it and you see which way you are facing straight away, in big numbers and plain words, like "104° East-southeast". No ads, no sign-up, no clutter.

A COMPASS YOU CAN TRUST
• Live heading with true north or magnetic north
• Direction in words, so east and west are never confused
• Accuracy you can see, with a simple figure-of-8 calibration guide
• A warning when metal or magnets are throwing the compass off
• Works offline, anywhere

FIND YOUR WAY
• Lock a bearing and get "turn left / turn right" guidance until you are on course
• Save your car, tent or hotel and be guided back with live distance
• You've-arrived alert when you are within 20 metres
• No compass sensor in your phone? Use the sun compass, your walking direction or a line on the map
