About this app

A simple and easy to use Compass to retrieve useful information about your current position such as true Geographic north and true altitude above sea level.

• Works perfectly offline and without network access
• Geographic north using magnetic declination
• True altitude above mean sea level (AMSL)
• Sunrise & Sunset times
• Azimut angles in deg, grad, mrad, gon
• Various dials and color themes (including high contrast)
• Angle measurement (with dials including measuring capabilities)
• Bubble Level functionnality (available in iPhone dial)
• Use EGM96 as the geoid reference for computing altitude
• Latitude & Longitude in MGRS, UTM coordinate formats
• Latitude & Longitude in DD, DMM or DMS format
• British National Grid (OSGB86) coordinate system
• SwissGrid (CH1903 / LV95 / MN95)
• Magnetic field strength to detect potential perturbations
• Sensor accuracy
• Address of your current location (requires data connectivity)

Compass better works outside where magnetic perturbations are low. Magnetic closure cell phone cases may also disrupt the accuracy of the compass.

EGM96 (Earth Gravitational Model) is used as the geoid reference to compute true altitude above sea level from data collected by the GPS sensor. UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) is a system for assigning coordinates to locations on the surface of the Earth.

Have fun !

Ratings and reviews

Despite the Google store saying that it is ad-free with over 400 plus on the rating for ad-free, it starts with a massive consent to have your date about what you are doing sold, and then signing up with preferences for advertisers. this program appears to be massively advertiser friendly, and even explicitly states it will track related devices.

Downloaded for watch. There is no actual working compass. It shows my GPS coordinates and wants to track my location, but that's about it. Regretfully paid a dollar to not share all my info when installing. Free is a scam. If you can get it to work, you get one face with no needles, all others must be purchased for 2.99. Lame app like most. I want my dollar back lol

No better or worse than the competition I guess, but none of these apps get the message... point is in a consistently correct direction! Kind of like the 'old fashion' handheld floating needle type did. This is useless at best ... life threatening at worst. Maybe it's best to carry a real compass and/or use some of that precious data space and access a map app to get there safely. Yes?
