With a beautifully clean interface, it seamlessly bridges the gap between traditional compass orientation and modern GPS mapping. Just set your target, check your bearing, and go.
Key Features
Dual Compass & Map Navigation: Switch effortlessly between a dedicated full-featured compass view and an integrated live map interface to stay completely oriented.
Precision Real-Time Data: View your exact distance, real-time bearing, current speed, and precise GPS coordinates (\bm{35.66417, -97.41630}) at a quick glance.
Trip Tracking & Waypoints: Easily drop custom pins or initiate a "Trip Start" to measure the distance and exact bearing relative to your starting position or target destination.
"Return to Start" Guidance: Never worry about losing your way back. One tap provides clear distance and heading data directly back to your point of origin.
Dynamic Viewing Modes: Toggle between Standard layout and an enlarged "Large Mode" display for high-visibility reading while on the move or in rugged outdoor environments.

NEW: Magnetic declination support — set it to Auto or enter it manually, and the compass shows a "MAG" bearing right under your true bearing • NEW: Follow a bearing from a paper map — enter it as TRUE or MAGNETIC and the app converts it automatically • NEW: "What is declination?" — a plain-English explainer in Settings so you know exactly when and why it matters • Improved: the Settings panel now scrolls smoothly on smaller iPhones
Point, go, and stay found — even when the trail has no signal
