Features & Capabilities

GPS Waypoint Finder is a powerful Chrome extension that helps you navigate to your saved GPS waypoints by accurately determining distance and direction using your device's GPS sensor, magnetic field sensor, and accelerometer. Unlike traditional compasses, it does not require being held level because it compensates for tilt using accelerometer data, ensuring precise readings on the horizontal plane.

This tool features a compass ring pointing to True North, correctly adjusted for magnetic declination, and displays real-time GPS status with timestamps. Users can store up to 500 waypoints, switch between imperial and metric units, and easily import or export waypoints via GPX files. The directional arrow changes color for user-friendly navigation, turning green within 30 meters and blue within 10 meters to signal proximity.

Ideal for geocaching, locating your car, hotel, or any other destination, GPS Waypoint Finder encourages safe navigation by advising users to watch their path rather than the device. Note that its accuracy depends on your device's sensors and should be used for directional guidance only.

Recent reviews

Doesn't recognise GPX files placed into the folder it claims to search. I'm absolutely not going to imput waypoints manually with this app - Pretty pointless if you can't load GPX files...

Even I think there's some bug while inserting manual coordinates, but this app working good and helpful. Import and export features is a plus. Thumb up 👍
