Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

Where is north? The Compass Gadget shows you exactly where is the North, East, South and West. Create your Compass Gadget with different background colors and many compass designs in the settings. If you activated your GPS, then you can save the most important locations and can navigate back. For example, where your car is parked or in the outdoor area, you can save positions and find back. The Compass works without GPS, you only need GPS when you save the locations and want navigate back.

Compass Gadget APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Compass Gadget APK safe?
