Computes the bearing and distance to your current GPS location

Features & Capabilities

Bearing is a simple yet powerful Chrome extension designed to compute the bearing and distance between your current GPS location and one or multiple saved waypoints. Featuring a new Waypoint screen, it allows users to save, edit, and recall multiple GPS targets easily. The extension also displays a modern compass with options to toggle between True North and Magnetic North, aiding in accurate navigation.

Ideal for tasks such as land surveying or identifying deed marks, Bearing offers an intuitive interface packed with practical features. As an added convenience, it is available as an Instant App, ready for quick access without installation. Users should be aware that it requires GPS permissions to access location data and employs Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to gather usage statistics and enhance reliability.

User Reviews

Users appreciate Bearing for its simplicity and clear interface, adhering to the KISS principle. However, multiple users have noted significant limitations such as inability to manually enter or input new target coordinates, inability to move the app to SD card, and lack of decimal format for GPS coordinates. There is also some confusion regarding the bearing scale representation. Overall, while the app meets basic needs, these recurring limitations detract from navigation usability.

Does exactly what it says without unnecessary features.
App is appreciated for adhering to the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle.

Cons

Cannot manually enter coordinates, only recall previously recorded ones.
Inability to input target location's coordinates manually.
App does not support relocation to the SD card.
GPS coordinates are not shown in decimal format.

Recent reviews

I appreciate the effort and good interface, but it just doesn't work for navigation. Not sure where it's pointing it, but not to or away from the target coordinates.
