Excellent, simple app. Used it on an Army Land Navigation course awhile back as a general course guide. Have aligned antennas with it etc...

Stuck in start I've installed and tried for current directions avbl. But unfortunately the Directions are not as per actual. The calibration didn't work. I tried a lot by moving my mob in 8 figure!! Pl help.
