## Description

Accurate Compass is a user-friendly Chrome extension that provides an accurate and intuitive 3D compass right in your pocket. It functions like a traditional compass, helping you check magnetic North, South, East, and West directions, navigate unfamiliar locations, and determine the bearing of distant objects or your garden's orientation.

Featuring a 3D view that works even when your device is tilted, this tool also displays the bearing angle in degrees for precise navigation. Utilizing your device's magnetometer, the extension may require calibration for best accuracy. Note that accuracy can vary depending on magnetic interference around your device. Supported by ads, this extension requires internet access permissions.
