heading you can trust.

WHY COMPASS: TRUE NORTH
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• TRUE NORTH & MAGNETIC NORTH — switch instantly. True north is computed
precisely from your location using the World Magnetic Model (the same
magnetic declination model used by professional navigation tools).

• LIVE GPS COORDINATES & ALTITUDE — see your exact latitude, longitude and
elevation. Long-press to copy your coordinates anywhere.

• BEARING LOCK — lock a heading and a clear marker shows exactly how far off
you are, so you can hold a direction with confidence. Perfect for hiking,
sailing and photography.

• BUBBLE LEVEL — an at-a-glance level indicator so you know your readings
are accurate, not thrown off by tilt.

• SMART CALIBRATION — a guided figure-8 trainer makes calibrating effortless,
and built-in magnetic-interference detection warns you when nearby metal,
magnets or chargers are distorting the reading (something most compass
apps silently get wrong).

• PRECISION FEEL — physics-based needle, haptic feedback as you cross
cardinal directions, and a refined gunmetal design that looks like a real
instrument.
