Features & Capabilities

Bearing (Azimuth) Navigation is a versatile Chrome extension designed to enhance your navigation experience with two powerful modes: Azimuth and GPS Tracker.

In Azimuth mode, users can navigate according to a specific bearing (azimuth) by drawing waypoints and bearing lines on a map based on the North Magnetic Pole. The feature supports offline usage through cached maps and provides detailed tracking including distances from start/end points and deflection from the bearing. Users can share bearings and waypoints via messaging apps easily.

The GPS Tracker mode is tailored for working with MTK electronic systems for aircraft models, offering comprehensive data like distances, altitude, and flight time. It supports multiuser collaboration and wearable integration with Wear OS smartwatches for seamless navigation on the wrist. This mode also incorporates many Azimuth mode functions, making it ideal for model aircraft enthusiasts.

Experience precise and interactive navigation whether hiking, modeling aircraft, or exploring outdoors, all from your browser and wearable device. The extension delivers robust features with user-friendly design and offline support, ensuring reliability and convenience.

User Reviews

Users appreciate Bearing (Azimuth) Navigation for its effectiveness in free flight tracking, model retrieval, and real-time bearing analysis, with practical utility in situations like fire spotting. The app performs well even in airplane mode and benefits from ongoing developer support. However, multiple reviews report issues such as non-functional manual links, difficulties setting waypoints, inability to find bearings between two waypoints, lack of features like exporting bearings, and absence of map integration. These limitations affect usability for some users despite the app's overall helpfulness.

Pros

Great tool for free flight and model retrieval.
Helps find lost models and navigate effectively in outdoor settings.
Works well in airplane mode, allowing tracking and review of flight paths.
Provides real-time bearing analysis and continuous developer support.
Useful in practical scenarios such as fire spotting with accurate triangulation.

Cons

Manual link is broken, limiting access to user guidance.
Waypoints cannot be set reliably, leading to erratic app behavior for some users.
Lacks functionality to find bearing between two waypoints, only from GPS location to waypoint.
Missing features such as export/saving bearings and copy/paste between tracks.
No map display integrated within the app.
