## What is The Marine Compass?

We always found it very user-friendly to have a handheld compass when all you want to do is read the bearing.            
Thus, we decided to create an app since our phones are glued to our hands anyway!  
So we did. Nothing more exciting or groundbreaking than that.

Take care out there and always navigate safe.
The Marine Compass team.
