Navigate with confidence — and stay safe — with Marine Compass Pro, the all-in-one tool for boaters and sailors. Real-time heading, speed and position. One-tap save for any spot you want to remember. A background anchor watch that wakes your phone if you drift. Marine weather. All in your language, wherever you sail. Whether you're crossing the Baltic, dropping anchor in a quiet cove, or learning the ropes on a weekend trip, Marine Compass Pro keeps the essentials front and center. KEY FEATURES PRECISE COMPASS True or magnetic heading, with optional Course-Up rotation so your direction of travel is always at the top of the dial. Smooth, sensor-fused readings you can trust. SAVED POINTS OF INTEREST Name a spot on save — or enable Quick Save and skip the prompt for true one-tap capture. See live distance and bearing from your current position to every saved point. Tap Navigate to make any point the active waypoint and the compass guides you straight to it. ANCHOR WATCH Drop anchor in the app, pick your drift radius (15, 30, 50 or 100 m), and your phone wakes you with a notification if you slip outside it. Keeps monitoring in the background with the screen locked. MAN OVERBOARD (MOB) One tap saves your current position with a red flag and instantly makes it your active waypoint, so the compass guides you back to the mark. MARINE WEATHER Current wind speed and direction in knots, gusts, wave height and period, plus sea-level data for your exact position. SUN AND MOON Sunrise, sunset, solar noon and moon phase for your current location. Handles polar night and midnight sun. TRIP STATS Average and maximum speed for the current session — handy for log entries when you get back to shore. SHARE AND EXPORT Share any saved spot via the system share sheet, or export every point as a GPX file you can import into Navionics, Aqua Map, your chartplotter or any other navigation app. SUNSET REMINDER Optional notification 1 hour and 15 minutes before sunset, so you're never caught out in the dark on the way back.
