## What is Direction Compass?

A compass that points where you want to go.

Direction Compass shows the direction of a destination or a special direction without opening a map or following a route.

Search for a place or address, select it, and simply follow the arrow.

Point toward places

Save places you want to find again, such as stations, landmarks, your hotel, a family grave, temple, shrine, or your parents’ home.

Explore 20 special directions

Direction Compass can also point toward directions based on calendars, astronomy, traditions, and faiths, including:

• This Year’s Eho
• Daily Direction
• Current Sun and Moon
• Today’s Sunrise and Sunset
• Qibla (Mecca)
• Jerusalem
• Bahá’í Qiblih
• Sleeping with Your Head North
• Kimon and Ura-kimon
• Kamidana directions
• The Western Pure Land
• Eastward Prayer
• Saiha, Taisai, Goosatsu, and Ankensatsu

Location-dependent directions are calculated using your current location when necessary. Astronomical directions are calculated on device.

Apple Watch

Check the direction from your wrist and switch between saved places and supported special directions without taking out your iPhone.

Widgets

Add Direction Compass to your iPhone or Apple Watch for quick access to your selected direction.

No complicated map. No route to follow. Just the direction to face.
