Description

All-in-one assistant with a map, compass, GPS coordinates to view and share in 6 formats, altitude, distance, sunset/sunrise, speedometer with top and average speed, navigator to your target or along the route and a whole lot more!

+ Advanced target/waypoint editor. Can be also used as a coordinates converter. You can use map to check or set waypoint location and add photo or audio note.
+ Share your location via email, text message, Facebook or Twitter. This includes UTM, MGRS and Latitude/Longitude (MENU>Share my location).
+ You can use UTM, MGRS or Lat/Long, just pick your preference in settings (Coordinate Format).
+ Speedometer. Shows you the speed and pace. Speedometer also gives you options to control average and max speed and pace counters (MENU > RESET and PAUSE/RESUME counters).
+ Compass. Instant reaction compass, no delays. Automatically pickups the direction based on magnetic or GPS course. If you mostly walk or drive, you can change this automatic mode in app settings > Compass or GPS course. NATO mils? Same place in settings to set.
+ Magnetic declination δ for the current location and any location on the map (via World Magnetic Model, WMM, no need for data/internet).
+ Sunset and sunrise. So you can plan your travel better.
+ Arrow pointing to your target waypoint. Distance and bearing to it.
+ Create/measure routes and areas.
+ Barometric Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI, IVSI) in both scale and graph forms.

All above belong to a basic version. PRO Pack upgrade will add following capabilities:

+ Recording and sharing GPS tracks.
+ Moving waypoints between folders.
+ Showing ETA to a target as this requires GPS tracking.
+ Native Google map with fantastic terrain map, amazing 3D and real night mode.
+ Adding own/custom tile map servers.
+ Downloading offline maps. Offline maps import in .sqlitedb, rmaps, mbtiles formats.
+ GPX import and export for waypoints, tracks and routes.
+ Google Earth KML support for waypoints and tracks import/export. KMZ support for waypoints and tracks export, waypoints import.
+ CSV import/export for waypoints.
+ Voice coach to tell you active track distance and duration, current speed and altitude without need to open the app.
+ Support for Siri shortcuts in IOS 12 for starting and stopping GPS tracks.

+ BACKGROUND MODE. App will work in background automatically when tracking. You can use other apps while Compass 55 does its job in the background!

+ PRIVACY. Compass 55 never shares your location data with 3rd parties or ad agencies. Location data is used solely for telling you direction to a target and recording GPS tracks and never leave the app unless you decide to share by means of a track export. It always lets you know when background mode is on and never runs in background unless the track is being recorded.

! You can use this app on your iPhone as well as on any cellular iPad. **App will not work properly on iPods and wifi only iPads as they don't have GPS (external GPS module is required). As quite a lot of us are using external GPS modules, app is available for wifi only iPads and iPods.

! Please note that as with all GPS apps, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

What’s New

Version 3.4

◆ Length annotations can now show line direction as azimuth or U.S. land survey bearing. Settings > Map Settings > Common settings > Annotations > Angle.
◆ Ground Image Overlays: Added limited support for kml gx:LatLonQuad overlays (including export).

Horse Trail Rides

That’s what I use it for mostly. It is simple to use once you work it out and the Developer was quick to respond when I had a query. That it works when there’s no ph service is important to me; once back in service, all the Maps show but importantly when not in service, you will always be taken to your Target even tho no map shows - the ‘rubber band’ guide draws you towards your Target. You can download maps if u rarely have service and want to see terrain but I haven’t really had the need. Good info of distance, speed, ave speed, times, coordinates and alt. Excellent excellent App. Excellent storage for previous trips. All in all, very nice App for any traveling and only a one off cost of few dollars.

Used by Country Fire Service volunteers

Our CFS brigade volunteers use this app on their iPhones since it lets us work in UTM for both display of our location as well as the entry of coordinates for waypoints to navigate to.

Being able to navigate by baring and distance or Google maps is perfect.

Thanks for the great app!

Every other app I’ve used rolled into 1

Love this app. Does everything I need it to do. Would be good to get some augmented reality for waypoints though. Otherwise keep up the good work
