Digital Compass - GPS Compass

Digital directions for outdoor use

Digital Compass - GPS Compass is a travel and navigation tool for checking direction with a phone. It displays the main compass points, including north, south, east, west and the diagonal directions between them. The app is suited to walkers, hikers, travellers, boaters and anyone who needs a simple directional reference while outdoors.

Compass readings and location data

The app uses the device’s magnetic sensor to determine its heading and can use GPS to identify your position. It also provides bearing, azimuth and degree information for users who need more than the basic compass dial. Location-based information includes altitude, while the weather feature supplies current conditions for planning outdoor activities.

Digital Compass - GPS Compass is designed to remain useful without a continuous internet connection. Users can choose from supported compass dial styles and switch to a dark mode when a lower-light display is more practical.

Important device requirement

A working magnetic sensor is necessary for the compass function. Phones without that hardware cannot provide a compass reading through the app. If the direction appears inaccurate, moving the phone in a figure-eight pattern several times can help recalibrate the sensor.
