Full description
Sometimes, you look Google Maps and you are not sure the direction to take. Pointer points to it. Or you are looking your town from a high building and wants to locate your house. Pointer points to it. Or you park your car in a great parking lot and don't remember exactly where your car is. Pointer points to it. Pointer is a simple compass-style navigation app for finding a fixed destination by coordinates. Enter latitude and longitude manually, paste coordinates from the clipboard, or share a location from Google Maps when the shared text includes coordinates. Pointer then uses your phone’s location and heading sensors to show which direction to face and how far away the destination is. Features: Enter latitude and longitude manually Paste coordinates from copied text Receive shared coordinate text, geo links, and compatible map links Save named destinations for later Open history to quickly reload saved places Set your current location as a destination View distance, bearing, phone heading, GPS accuracy, and current coordinates Open the selected destination in your map app Pointer is useful when you already know the exact coordinates of a place and want a clear directional arrow instead of turn-by-turn navigation. For best results, use Pointer outdoors with GPS enabled and keep the phone level while the compass settles. Pointer is not affiliated with Google Maps. Google Maps is a trademark of Google LLC.
