Direction Compass With Maps User Reviews

Top reviews

Very Helpful

Very easy to use and really helpful when you go to a place you have never been. It is especially helpful for me because I havenโ€™t been any where. ๐Ÿ˜‚

No driving directions

Not sure what this good for other than showing points on a map. Can not get directions just a floating compass to show you where to go in a straight line to get to the point you selected.

Not for driving maybe walking but I can get walking directions with mapsโ€ฆ.

Response from developer

You're right, this app isn't useful for driving; Waze would do the job much more efficiently. This app doesn't give you orders ("turn right", "turn left"...), and that's its main advantage: you'll never get lost, but you'll be free to choose your own path. This application is a Swiss army knife for finding your way around the world. It won't give you instructions on how to get from one point to another, but it will be useful for locating the position, and distance of up to 6 points of interest. Some people use it to wander freely, knowing they'll never get lost. Others use it simply to understand their surroundings. Others use it to locate their car, hotel, favorite museum stores in a visited city, so they can walk from one point to another without having a GPS giving them orders. Personally, I use it when I'm in a boat, train or plane ( needs internet) and want to locate a town, lake or building, or simply know my speed and altitude. Waze and Apple Maps are great Aps for getting from point A to point B quickly, but not so great when you're on a boat or discovering a new place in complete freedom. best regards. :)

Suburb

The most helpful navigational compass one could hopeful. So practical and user friendly.

How is this a $3 app?

It doesnโ€™t do anything. Points to north and shows which direction is Eiffel Tower and Times Square. Big deal ๐Ÿ™„

Response from developer

You can change the points to indicate any position you wish. Just click on the corresponding button, and change the position to those you want. if you want more information on how to use this application, press the "i" button at the top left of the compass.

I can see where home is all the time

Sometimes I feel saudade for the place I come from using this app to show where it is wherever I am makes me feel better

Response from developer

:) that's the reason why i've made this app. (but you can also find lots of other ways to use it :) )

Good concept, one issue

This app has good potential but needs serious attention to itโ€™s display. The font size and use of tiny arrows and gray fonts make it difficult to use outdoors in the bright light or at night since itโ€™s so bright costing a user their night vision.
It may be fun to load some significant sites and view them from indoors with reading glasses on but unfortunately the displays makes it unusable for anything serious when out and about.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your comment. Your point about readability is very relevant, nobody mentioned this problem to me after 50000+ downloads. I will try to improve this point in the next update by enlarging the arrows and working on the readability of the texts.

EASY TO USE

Even a cave man can use it, plus a blonde lady.
So many useful features:
The BUDSTER SAID THAT.

Une petite merveille!

Quand je doute de mon emplacement, elle me place au bon endroit, subito presto!
Essayer c'est l'adopter... Bye @ +

Very impressed

After I downloaded the app, I totally surprised at how well it worked. I think it will work well on trips and hiking or just casual use out and about. Thank you.
