GPS Compass: Maps & Sun Times

Lost the trail? Need to find your way back to camp before the light goes? GPS Compass: Maps & Sun Times gives you a fast, accurate digital compass with live GPS location, maps, sun-timing data, and a trip log that remembers every bearing you drop.

Most compass apps just spin a needle. This one helps you actually navigate, and get home before the light goes.

WHY HIKERS, DRIVERS & PHOTOGRAPHERS USE IT

Drop bearing pins anywhere: long-press the compass face to save your current heading, GPS location, and a note. Open any pin later to navigate back. No account, no cloud.

Choose true north or magnetic north: most compass apps pick one and never explain why. This one lets you toggle, shows the local declination, and notifies you when it shifts to a new region.

Catch the golden hour: the Sun tab shows today's sunrise, sunset, golden-hour, and blue-hour windows for your exact GPS location, with an optional local reminder 15 minutes before. This app shows sun and light timing, not a temperature or precipitation forecast.

Calibrate accurately, in 10 seconds: the figure-8 calibration screen shows a live sensor-accuracy meter, so you know your needle is reading true before you rely on it.

Share a bearing as an image: turn any saved pin into a compass-rose card you can send over messaging or social apps. Photographers, surveyors, and hiking groups use this to coordinate a meeting point.

GPS, MAPS, AND DIRECTION IN ONE PLACE

Real-time compass needle synced to your phone's magnetometer and gyroscope. Google Maps integration with normal, hybrid, satellite, and terrain modes. Live GPS location with latitude, longitude, altitude, and full address. Local sunrise, sunset, golden hour, blue hour, and twilight windows for your exact position. A daily compass-calibration streak to keep your readings sharp.

BUILT FOR THE OUTDOORS, NOT THE CITY

Works offline once a map tile has loaded, useful on spotty hiking trails. Reads clearly in direct sunlight and is designed for one-handed use on a trail. No account required; open the app and see your bearing.

WHO IT'S FOR

Hikers, backpackers, drivers, photographers, surveyors, hunters, sailors, road-trippers, dog-walkers, and anyone who needs reliable direction outdoors. If you've ever wondered "which way is north?" while standing in an unfamiliar park, this app is for you.

PRIVACY AND ADS

Your trip log, bearings, streak, and calibration history stay on your device; they are never uploaded to a server. This app is supported by ads, and ad delivery may use your approximate location and a device advertising identifier, in line with standard mobile ad practices, separate from your saved compass data.

Open the app, calibrate once, and drop your first pin. Find your way home before the light goes.
