Description

This app makes it easy to find the direction and distance to where you want to go. It has a compass that works together with a map and the GPS to make classical orienteering possible. You line up your position (the GPS position) on the map with your destination by moving and rotating the map using one or two fingers. Turn the phone/tablet until the compass needle fits into the compass orienting arrow. Then the phone/tablet points in the direction towards the destination.

* Has a button which when clicked locks the map to the compass such that the map keeps oriented as the landscape even it the phone is turned.
* The compass is resizable.
* Supports both SI and imperial units.
* Possibility to lock the GPS position to the middle of the screen or the middle of the compass.
* Ruler on the direction of travel arrow. Possible to switch it off.
* Possible to buy the app free from ads.

IMPORTANT: The map needs to be online. If there is no internet connection, the map cannot be shown, and the app does not work.

Support/feedback: apps@calmatics.com

Disclaimer: The app is no better than the phone capabilities. For example, if the phone does not find its location, the coordinates and the location dot cannot be shown, and the compass declination cannot be calculated.

Comments on Orienteering Compass & Map for Android

★★★★★ I use 2 other apps along with this 1; GPS ESSENTIALS; GPS STATUS & TOOLBOX... The AT is under my belt. I've paid for all 3. Great set when used together. Yes, it's redundant. Yes, I use paper maps n compass. I wouldn't suggest it if I DIDN'T trust them. " And find an REI, give $20.00 for a lifetime membership. REI has member only sales a few times a year." I saw -15° in Maine, my knowledge/their gear... I'm still upright!!!

★★★★★ Decent orienteering compass app. Would love a way to download for offline use. Or/and use my own baseman(s). Pay attention to calibration. Can be off as any that is not calibrated. Only as accurate as your phone's sensors. In addition to my phone's sensors, would like to be able to use external as well. Google's online satellite info is out-dated, I've seen others with much more recent imagery. (That's on Google, not the Devs for this app.) Thanks.

★★☆☆☆ Inaccurate. My east is shown as west. I downloaded other compass apps as I knew that my back garden always gets morning sun, so I was confused why the app kept showing it as west facing garden. Other compass apps confirmed what I already knew, my east facing garden was indeed east and not weat as this app suggests.

★★☆☆☆ Well it's map info was literally nothing only thing I saw was the line with arrow at top of the line. I could change that to either white or black. Changing map type did nothing. Setting orienteering markers did nothing it didn't set anything visible on the screen which was blank. It showed my long and lat coordinates. Zooming did nothing to show anything regardless of how many taps I did, not even the coastline. Useless
