Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

This application is a beautiful and compact digital compass for Android devices. The compass will help you navigate in the hike, in the forest or on the river. The application is easy to use and works like a real compass - arrange the device horizontally for ease of use. The rotating dial of the compass will point you to the north. Point the device to the desired direction and the compass will show you the true and magnetic azimuths, the coordinates of the location (latitude and longitude), altitude above sea level, the accuracy of the readings. Our compass has a built-in speedometer with 5 modes of accuracy - the chosen accuracy will determine the power consumption of your phone and will allow you to extend the time of its operation, which is important in the distance from the outlet. Also in the compass there is a flashlight function and a large digital clock for your convenience. The main functions and differences of the compass: - high accuracy - very small size (only 2.5Mb) - Built-in speedometer with the ability to save battery power - built-in flashlight - warning of compass calibration

Digital Compass APK: questions and answers

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