## Description

### Compass Chrome Extension

Compass uses your device's magnetic field sensor to provide an accurate compass experience without the need to keep the device level. It displays both Magnetic North and True North needles, utilizing your GPS or manual location input to calculate magnetic declination.

**Key Features:**
- Magnetic field sensor-based compass with accelerometer correction
- Displays Magnetic North and True North needles
- Bubble level indicator to show device orientation
- Roll and pitch gauges for device tilt
- Calibration options for enhanced accuracy
- Rotatable dial with orienting lines
- Location support via GPS/network or manual input for declination

Note: Requires a device with a magnetic field sensor. Accuracy may be affected by nearby metallic objects or sensor quality. Ideal for users needing a reliable digital compass integrated with modern sensors and location services.
