## What is Bearing?

Bearing is not a boring compass. Open it, and your phone becomes a precision instrument: heading in degrees and cardinals overlaid on a real time map, true or magnetic north, magnetic declination, tilt-corrected by CoreMotion, and a full data card that always shows altitude, speed, barometric pressure, temperature, wind, humidity, and sunrise / sunset — all on one screen, all the time. 

Built for hikers, sailors, pilots, and anyone who wants more from their iPhone than a stock compass.

COMPASS YOU CAN TRUST
• Heading in degrees with cardinal label (N, NE, E, SE…)
• Toggle true north or magnetic north
• Live magnetic declination on screen
• Tilt-corrected via Apple's CoreMotion sensor fusion
• Configurable haptic feedback at every cardinal crossing
• Calibration alerts you can turn on or off
• Tap the dial to lock a bearing — the arrow holds your line
• Optional map overlay rendered inside the dial, with adjustable zoom

A FULL DATA CARD, ALWAYS VISIBLE
Below the compass dial, every reading you actually use — together, no extra taps:
• Altitude (meters, feet, multiple references)
• Speed in km/h, mph, or knots
• Barometric pressure in hPa or inHg via the on-device altimeter sensor
• Temperature, sky condition, humidity
• Wind speed and direction
• Sunrise and sunset for your exact location
Weather is delivered first-party through Apple WeatherKit. No third-party servers. No tracker pixels.

COORDINATES, EVERY FORMAT
• Live latitude and longitude
• Reverse-geocoded city / region label
• Decimal Degrees (DD)
• Degrees Minutes Seconds (DMS)
• Degrees Decimal Minutes (DDM)
• Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)

WAYPOINTS THAT FOLLOW YOU
Save any spot — trailhead, anchorage, summit, your car — as a named waypoint. Tap one to navigate: a bearing arrow on the dial points the way and the distance updates live as you move. Stored locally with SwiftData. Your locations never leave your device.

SUN, MOON, QIBLA
• Real-time Sun position on the dial — useful for golden hour and ridge navigation
• Moon position
• Qibla direction — bearing to Mecca, accurate from anywhere on Earth

SIX THEMES INCLUDED
• Tactical (black + warm orange — the default)
• Light
• Arctic (pale blue/white, high contrast for snow)
• Solar (warm cream and gold)
• Night Red (red on black — preserves night vision)
• Night Green (alternate night vision)

BUILT THE RIGHT WAY
• iPhone and iPad, iOS 18.6 or later
• Native CoreLocation, CoreMotion, CoreHaptics
• Apple WeatherKit (no third-party weather APIs)
• MapLibre rendering
• No third-party analytics. No ads.
• Your location stays on your device.
