## Description

TrueN Compass is a precision compass for hikers, photographers, surveyors, and anyone who needs an accurate bearing — fast.<br><br>It uses your phone&#39;s rotation-vector sensor with low-pass filtering on the unit-vector circle, so the dial is rock-steady instead of jittery. Switch between magnetic and true north in one tap; declination is auto-calculated from your GPS location.<br><br>KEY FEATURES<br>• True north / magnetic north toggle with automatic declination<br>• GPS coordinates in decimal (DD) or degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS)<br>• Altitude and reverse-geocoded address<br>• Bubble level (pitch + roll) for hand-leveling shots<br>• Bearing lock — tap the dial to set a target heading and follow the offset<br>• Calibration figure-8 prompt when sensor accuracy drops<br>• Haptic feedback when crossing N / E / S / W and on bearing target<br>• Material 3 design with system-following dark mode<br>• Korean and English localization<br><br>PRIVACY<br>Your location is used only on-device to compute true north, show coordinates, and look up the nearest address.
