Description

A simple and easy to use Compass to retrieve useful information about your current position such as true Geographic north and true altitude above sea level.

• Works perfectly offline and without network access
• Geographic north using magnetic declination
• True altitude above mean sea level (AMSL)
• Sunrise & Sunset times
• Azimut angles in deg, grad, mrad, gon
• Various dials and color themes (including high contrast)
• Angle measurement (with dials including measuring capabilities)
• Bubble Level functionnality (available in iPhone dial)
• Use EGM96 as the geoid reference for computing altitude
• Latitude & Longitude in MGRS, UTM coordinate formats
• Latitude & Longitude in DD, DMM or DMS format
• British National Grid (OSGB86) coordinate system
• SwissGrid (CH1903 / LV95 / MN95)
• Magnetic field strength to detect potential perturbations
• Sensor accuracy
• Address of your current location (requires data connectivity)

Compass better works outside where magnetic perturbations are low. Magnetic closure cell phone cases may also disrupt the accuracy of the compass.

EGM96 (Earth Gravitational Model) is used as the geoid reference to compute true altitude above sea level from data collected by the GPS sensor. UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) is a system for assigning coordinates to locations on the surface of the Earth.

Comments on Compass & Altimeter for Android

★★★★★ Stephen Pittman · Apr 21, 2026

Great compass, very quick, seems to be accurate.

★★★★★ Michael Vicker · Feb 17, 2026

Elevation and compass data quick and accurate.

★★★★★ Steven Spacil · Mar 7, 2026

Comes in very handy as I live in the Salt Lake City area and often travel winding roads in mountainous areas and want to get a better idea of exactly where I am.

★★★★☆ Sachin Rawat · Apr 27, 2026

It is a good app to use for basic knowledge of directions and altitude

★★★★★ Fran Straub · Feb 18, 2026

I have used it many times mostly for orientation for solar run devices. Comes in handy as I always have my phone with me.

★☆☆☆☆ Bogdan “Bogie” Dumitrescu · Feb 8, 2026

Used this 3, and now it's asking me to accept all the cookies and tracking data or pay them....I need to find a free compass app

★☆☆☆☆ H Vora · Apr 21, 2026

After forcing me to click through almost 200 advertising-related permissions, which I rejected, I was forced to either accept data collection and targeted advertising, or pay for a purchase, to be able to even try the product. Rejected. Useless scam.

★☆☆☆☆ Leith Black · Feb 24, 2026

Great app if you want an app that destroys your battery life in 2 hours

★☆☆☆☆ AnhTuan Le · Apr 30, 2026

Extremely invasive data collection on this app, with no way to completely opt out without paying money. Do not use if you don't want your location being sold to advertisers.

★☆☆☆☆ Guy Siddons · Jan 31, 2026

It offered me the chance to select a. choice of vendors for advertising. I made my choice and was then informed that I had no choice if I wanted you to use the app. What a useless app
