## Description

**Waypoint** is an offline GPS compass and outdoor navigation app for saving locations and finding your way back without maps, mobile signal, or internet access. Drop a marker for your campsite, car, trailhead, fishing spot, boat dock, or event entrance, then follow a real-time compass arrow with live distance updates.

Choose from location icons, attach photos, view GPS accuracy, and use imperial or metric units. Advanced compass smoothing helps provide stable navigation, with clear direction labels and haptic arrival alerts. The free version supports up to three saved markers, while premium plans add unlimited markers and advanced features such as bearing lock and heading. Waypoint requires no account, contains no ads or trackers, and keeps your data on your device.
