Store listing

Full description
This compass app is designed for hiking, camping, sailing, and other outdoor activities. Fast, accurate direction guidance with a lightweight and optimized design. The app can be used together with maps, a flashlight, and Morse code tools for additional convenience during outdoor navigation. Features • True North and Magnetic North support • Compass calibration status indicator • Address and GPS coordinates (latitude / longitude) • Map integration for location viewing • LED flashlight and screen flashlight (Coming soon) • Morse code transmitter • Level tool (Bubble Level) Notice This app requires a magnetic sensor (compass sensor) to function. Calibration Magnetic cases or nearby magnetic objects may interfere with the compass sensor and cause inaccurate readings. If the compass direction appears incorrect, check whether the device is affected by nearby magnetic objects. For optimal performance, the magnetic field strength should ideally remain between 30–60 μT. To calibrate the compass, move your device in a figure-eight (∞) motion several times. If the sensor accuracy remains low, rotate the device repeatedly in all directions (left/right and up/down) to improve calibration.
