Bearings Compass

Get your bearings. The compass, where you are, the time, your coordinates and elevation, the sun and moon, and a map, all on one screen. A clear compass: your heading in degrees and points (228° SW), true north or magnetic north with the declination, and a light tick as you pass N, E, S and W. Where and when: the town you’re in, or how far you are from the nearest one (“66 mi NE of Montrose, Colorado”), with today’s date and the time. Coordinates in six formats: decimal degrees, degrees minutes seconds, decimal minutes, UTM, MGRS and Plus Codes. Tap to switch, hold to copy, or share your location. Elevation in feet and metres at once, from GPS when it’s accurate, otherwise terrain data, with air pressure on iPhones with a barometer. The sun and moon on the dial, with sunrise, sunset and the moon’s phase. Mark a spot and find it again: its direction on the dial and how far away it is. Lock a bearing and see how far you’ve turned from it. A bubble level sits in the middle of the dial. A map with your heading, north up or following you, in standard or satellite view. Honest accuracy: ± for position and heading, a figure-8 hint only when the compass needs it, a warning near magnets and metal, and your speed as you move. Four layouts, each its own: Small (the compass and a big map), Medium (the compass and tiles for position, elevation, sun and map), Large (six compact tiles) and Extra Large (the biggest compass with one summary row). Night mode turns everything red to keep your night vision. Compass widgets for the Home Screen in small, medium and large: a north-up dial showing where the sun, the moon, your marked spot and your locked bearing lie, with your place, elevation and coordinates. On the Lock Screen: your elevation, place and coordinates. Works offline, except the map and terrain elevation. Your location stays on your device. Bearings sends only a position rounded to about 100 m to look up the ground elevation. No account, no ads, no tracking. Free. Also on the Mac, Android and the web. Open source.
