## What is Compass GPS?

Find your way anywhere — a fast, accurate compass built for real navigation, fully offline.

Digital Compass shows a stable heading the moment you open it, with tilt compensation, automatic true-north correction and a GPS fallback when no magnetometer is available. A built-in bubble level and live calibration keep every reading honest.

• Accurate heading — magnetic or true north, with automatic declination
• Saved spots — mark a place and get the bearing and distance back to it
• Enter coordinates by hand — decimal, DMS, or a pasted Google Maps link
• Open in Apple Maps or Google Maps, or share a spot via an encrypted link
• Bearing lock — long-press the dial to follow a heading ("12° left")
• Prayer direction — Qibla (Kaaba) or Jerusalem (Temple Mount)
• Coordinates, haptics and a bubble level, all offline and private

Compass Pro (one-time purchase) removes ads and unlocks unlimited saved spots plus the Sun & Moon layer — a daylight arc, live sun and moon positions, and the moon drawn at its true phase.

No account. No servers. Your saved places stay on your device.
