Bearing: Night Compass

Bearing is not a boring compass. Open it, and your phone becomes a precision instrument: heading in degrees over a live map inside the dial, true or magnetic north, live declination, and a data card with altitude, speed, pressure, weather, wind, and sunrise / sunset — all on one screen. At sunset it turns itself into a pure red night compass. Built for hikers, orienteers, sailors, pilots, stargazers, and anyone who wants more than a stock compass. COMPASS YOU CAN TRUST • Heading in degrees or mils, with cardinal label (N, NE, E, SE…) • True or magnetic north, one tap to switch • Live declination and heading accuracy on screen • Haptic ticks at every cardinal and intercardinal • Calibration alerts you can turn on or off • Optional map inside the dial, with adjustable width FOLLOW A BEARING Tap the dial or LOCK to hold a bearing. The readout shows how far to turn, ON COURSE when you are on your line, and the back bearing for the way home. A soft haptic fires each time you come back on course. NIGHT VISION, DONE PROPERLY Night Red and Night Green are strictly single-spectrum, map and controls included. No blue or white light spoils your dark-adapted eyes. • Switches automatically from Sunset to Sunrise (computed on the device, works offline) or with iPhone Dark Mode • Night Dimmer and Minimum Screen Brightness • Night sky data: moon phase, moonrise and moonset, astronomical darkness, cloud cover • Polaris finder: its elevation, plus a star on the dial A FULL DATA CARD, ALWAYS VISIBLE Every reading you actually use, no extra taps: • Altitude in meters or feet • Speed in km/h, mph, or knots • Pressure with a 3-hour trend: sea level from Apple Weather, or station pressure from the on-device barometer • Temperature, sky condition, humidity • Wind speed and direction, also marked on the dial • Sunrise and sunset for your exact location Tap any reading to change its unit. Weather comes first-party from Apple WeatherKit. No tracker pixels. COORDINATES, EVERY FORMAT • Live latitude and longitude with GPS accuracy, plus the place name • Decimal Degrees (DD), Degrees Minutes Seconds (DMS), Degrees Decimal Minutes (DDM) • UTM and MGRS for land navigation • Tap to change format, long-press to copy or share WAYPOINTS THAT BRING YOU BACK Save any spot — trailhead, anchorage, summit, your car — with one tap on MARK. Tap a waypoint to navigate: an arrow on the dial points the way, the distance updates as you move, and a haptic tells you when you have arrived. The list is sorted by distance.
