Features & Capabilities

Compass & Altimeter is a user-friendly Chrome extension designed to provide precise navigation and location information. It offers true geographic north readings using magnetic declination, calculates true altitude above sea level using EGM96 geoid reference, and displays sunrise and sunset times. Its functionality extends to multiple coordinate formats like MGRS, UTM, DD, DMM, DMS, British National Grid, and SwissGrid.

This extension works perfectly offline, ensuring accessibility even without an internet connection. It features various dials and color themes, including high contrast options and angle measurement tools. Additional features include magnetic field strength detection to warn against perturbations, sensor accuracy indicators, and a bubble level function on iPhone dial. Note that magnetic phone cases may affect compass accuracy. Compass & Altimeter is ideal for outdoor navigation, geolocation, and timing needs, providing reliable and comprehensive geographic data in a single tool.

User Reviews

Users generally praise the app's accuracy and ease of use, with several noting readable UI and reliable performance on devices like Pixel 9 Pro. However, multiple reviews flag serious downsides: excessive intrusive ads and monetization, privacy/data-sharing concerns and opt-out difficulties, significant battery drain and overheating, and occasional reliability issues with the compass direction updating. Overall impression: solid tool under privacy and performance caveats.

Pros

Accurate compass readings
Easy-to-use, intuitive UI
Reliable performance across devices (e.g., Pixel 9 Pro)
Clear, readable display / easy to read values

Cons

Intrusive ads and monetization (ads lists, forced cookie prompts, ad vendor selections)
Privacy concerns and data collection/sharing with opt-out difficulties
Significant battery drain and occasional overheating
Compass direction reliability issues (does not consistently update)

Recent reviews

I love the app, but the deceitful ads are the reason for 3 stars. The ads look like an antivirus app found malware on your phone in an attempt to get you to click the button labeled "remove". It probably installs malware instead of removing anything. Ads are fine, you've gotta pay your bills. Deceit is not okay. Get rid of those ads. and I'll give your 2 stars back.

Install this app if your privacy doesn't matter to you... "Harvesting" a lot of your data and if you want to use it, you need to give this app the permission to do so. There are many other free apps that are doing the same job, but respecting your privacy.
