NorthStar Compass

NorthStar Compass helps you find direction quickly with a clean, precise, and highly readable digital compass. Heading, cardinal direction, magnetic-field strength, sensor accuracy, pitch, and roll appear together on one focused dashboard.

Core features:

• Live digital compass with degree heading and cardinal direction
• Magnetic-north and true-north modes
• Saved bearing marker for holding a destination direction
• Live Camera2 preview with an on-screen compass overlay
• Device position, coordinates, elevation, and accuracy estimate
• On-device waypoint with distance and return bearing
• Two-axis bubble level for pitch and roll
• Sensor diagnostics and a clear calibration guide
• Flashlight control with safe unavailable and error states
• Optional keep-screen-awake setting for active navigation

Bearings, waypoints, and preferences remain on your device. NorthStar Compass does not require an account or backend service.

Location permission is requested only when you open Position or need a fresh true-north correction. Camera permission is requested only when Camera Compass opens. Heading, altitude, position, camera preview, and flashlight availability depend on the sensors and hardware in your Android device. Devices without a magnetometer may show limited navigation information.
