A simple and easy to use compass to retrieve useful information about your current location.
• Free and no ads
• Magnetic and true north using magnetic declination
• Sunrise and Sunset
• Various skins and color themes (including high contrast)
• Real altitude above sea level at your current location
• Use EGM96 as the geoid reference for calculating altitude
• Latitude and longitude in MGRS format
• Latitude and longitude in UTM format
• Latitude and longitude in DD, DMM or DMS format
• Magnetic field strength
• Accuracy of the sensor
• Address of your current location
The compass works best outdoors where magnetic disturbances are low. Mobile phone cases with magnetic closures can also affect the accuracy of the compass.
EGM96 (Earth Gravitational Model) is used as a geoid reference to calculate the true altitude above sea level from the data collected by the GPS sensor. UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) is a system for assigning coordinates to locations on the surface of the Earth.
Have fun !
