Description
ANDROID'S LEADING COMPASS APP
Featured in “Best Android Apps, The Guide for Discriminating Downloaders”, published by O’Reilly Media, Compass by Catch.com is the most popular compass app available.
NEVER GET LOST
Compass view with location display and geo-tagged notes lets you not only steer in the right direction, but view maps and keep notes of the places you visit.
REMEMBER IMPORTANT PLACES
• Save your favorite places (home, work place, school, restaurant, shops, etc.) or even your car location. Navigate back to them later with Google Navigation.
• Capture and view your location-based notes in your area using the free Catch app.
CHOOSE FROM MULTIPLE COMPASS TYPES
Compass is a free app that includes 5 basic compass types
"Vintage"
• Antique dial, direction names adjust for user's language.
"Digital"
• Outer dial can be manually rotated, green inner dial shows direction name in user's language, crisp pointer movement with no overshoot.
"GPS"
• Red section shows magnetic compass information including direction, magnetic field strength and declination. Green sections show GPS-based information including direction of movement, speed, altitude, and accuracy estimate. Pitch and roll indicators.
"NightVision"
• Red outline on black styling for easy reading in low-light conditions.
PREPARE FOR ADVENTURE
Now Compass offers premium compass themes with a simple in-app purchase. Choose from among our Urban Hiker, Space Cowboy, Sea Navigator and Special Ops themes, or buy all four for one low price.
“Urban Hiker”
• Hand points up, compass dial rotates underneath it. Shows direction and latitude/longitude below the compass. Paper texture and city skyline background.
“Special Ops”
• Shows magnetic compass information including direction, magnetic field strength and declination. Also shows GPS-based information including direction of movement, speed, altitude, and accuracy estimate. Pitch and roll indicators.
• Digital camouflage background.
“Sea Navigator”
• Outer dial can be manually rotated, inner dial points north with slight overshoot, "moving" direction below compass.
“Space Cowboy”
• Inner digital direction indication with finely-marked outer dial. Dial movement is crisp. Latitude and longitude below compass.
Internet permission is used only for Google Analytics so we know which features are used the most and where to improve. There is no unique identifier tied to your usage, and your data is not shared.
Note that this app relies on the mobile device’s magnetometer so accuracy may vary.
