Description

From the listing uploaded by “deky”.

Super compass, (指南针 in Chinese) both app and home screen widget, several styles and backgrounds to choose. Feature - Home screen widget - change background - change style - spirit level - calibrate - GPS location, address - GPS status - connectivity status - true north or magnetic north Widget on Samsung Galaxy (same as Nexus S) slows down the phone, because the yamaha sensor in Samsung phone is really bad. Even the old G2 is better than Samsung's magnetic sensor.

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