This app makes it easy to find the direction and distance to where you want to go by using the built-in compass, the GPS, and Apple maps. You line up your position (the GPS position) on the map with your destination by moving and rotating the map using one or more fingers. Turn the phone/tablet until the compass needle fits into the compass orienting arrow. Then the phone/tablet points in the direction towards the destination. Just like classical orienteering with compass and paper map. Alternatively the map can be locked to the compass such that north of the map is always the same as real north irrespective the orientation of the phone/tablet. Also the compass has a ruler such that you can measure the distance to where you want to go. Features: • The compass can orient the map with the landscape automatically or you can orient the map yourself • You get the distance and direction to where you want to go • Supports SI, imperial, and nautical units • Makes orienteering easy
