Make better use of your phone’s built-in sensors without ads, tracking, accounts, or subscriptions.

Compass Altimeter is designed for people who want fast, reliable environmental and orientation data at a glance. Whether you are driving through mountain roads, exploring rural areas, trekking outdoors, traveling with limited signal, or simply curious about your surroundings, the app gives you useful real-time information in a simple, distraction-free interface.

Compass Altimeter is useful when you want quick situational awareness without opening a complex navigation app.
Use it while driving, walking, trekking, traveling, or exploring places where mobile signal may be weak or unavailable.

Real-Time Altitude
See elevation changes as you move through hills, mountain roads, valleys, or high-altitude areas.

Altitude Session Tracking
Track your minimum and maximum altitude during a session, including total ascended and descended height.

GPS Speedometer
View your current speed in a clean, easy-to-read display — useful for driving, cycling, walking, or outdoor movement.

Waypoint Navigation for Trekking & Travel
Save any location as a waypoint and navigate back to it using real-time GPS distance.

Perfect for trekking, hiking, parking spots, viewpoints, campsites, meeting points, or any place you want to remember. The app continuously shows the distance to your saved waypoint so you always know how far away it is.

Current Address & GPS Coordinates
View your current address when location services are available, plus GPS coordinates in both decimal format and DMS format.

Sunrise, Sunset & Sunshine Hours
Get GPS-based sunrise, sunset, and daylight information for your current location.

Altitude, speed, waypoint, and location information are convenience features and should not replace dedicated navigation, safety, or mapping tools.

Works Without Mobile Signal

Many core features can work in remote areas, low-signal zones, or airplane mode using your phone’s built-in sensors and GPS.

No mobile data is required for essential tools such as:
Compass
Altimeter
Bubble level
Speedometer
GPS coordinates
Waypoint distance
Sunrise and sunset information
Air pressure, on supported devices

For the best offline experience, keep GPS/location enabled. In airplane mode, GPS can still be used on many Android devices, depending on device settings and hardware support.

Optional internet access is used only when needed for features such as address lookup and is never used for tracking, profiling, ads, or analytics.

Accurate Compass with Calibration Reminders

Compass accuracy depends on your phone’s sensors and nearby magnetic interference.

To help maintain reliable readings, Compass Altimeter can periodically remind you to recalibrate your phone using the classic figure-8 motion. This helps reduce sensor drift and improves compass precision, especially after magnetic interference, long sessions, or changing environments.

Instant startup
No loading screens
Low battery usage
No background tracking
No unnecessary services
Optimized for older and budget Android devices
One-time purchase with no subscriptions or upsells
