UTM coordinates and Altitude can be add as separate complication to any available slot.

Seamless Integration: Add the compass as a complication to any watch face that supports them.

Total Control: Toggle the compass on or off easily to suit your needs and save resources. With mobile companion app to easily toggle the settings you needs.

3 formats DD, DDM and DMS coordinates display settings on the compass UI.

Battery Optimization: Built with performance in mind, ensuring minimal battery drain even with regular use.

Battery Optimization: OFF (Recommended / Unrestricted)

• Continuous Location Tracking: The app can track your location and altitude in the background even if the watch screen is off.
• Real-Time Accuracy: As you move, your coordinates and True North declination update instantly, ensuring the compass is always accurate the moment you look at it.
•Stable Background Service: The compass complication on your watch face will update reliably throughout the day without being "frozen" by the system.
•SOS Reliability: If you trigger an SOS, it will use your most recent, precise coordinates even if you haven't opened the app in a while.

Battery Optimization: ON (Standard / Optimized)

•Throttled Background Updates: The system may stop location and altitude tracking once the screen turns off or enters Always-On Display (AOD) mode.
•Re-Sync Delay: When you wake the watch after moving, you may see "stale" coordinates from your previous location for several seconds while the watch waits to reconnect to GPS.
•Background Freezing: Samsung and other Wear OS devices may forcefully close the compass service to save power, which could cause the watch face complication to stop updating.
•Lower Background Precision: To save battery, the system may only allow the app to check your location once every few minutes instead of in real-time.

Complication display customization: Choose to display icon, title, both or none.

One tap to generate your SOS coordinates and map link, ready for your messaging app.

Whether you are hiking, exploring a new city, or just want a quick directional reference, our app provides the reliability you need without the bulk.
