Mont Blanc Compass
Read full descriptionHide full description
βMont Blanc Compassβ is a compass that shows the direction and distance to Mont Blanc. Wherever you are on earth, you can know the direction and distance to Mont Blanc. Finding the direction of a distant target position on a flat map causes a large error, so you need to find the direction with a globe, but with this app you can find the exact direction as with a globe. Mountains are said to be the object of worship. There may be good things to do every day to pray to Mont Blanc. (How to use) 1) Launch the app 2) Place the device horizontally with the screen facing up. Mont Blanc hand in the screen shows the direction to Mont Blanc. 3) The distance to Mont Blanc is displayed at the top of the screen. 4) If you turn the device so that the top or side of the device meets to Mont Blanc hand, the direction to Mont Blanc will be easy to understand. 5) Tap "Map" button to see to Mont Blanc map. (Tips) 1) The accuracy of the magnetic compass in the device is important. So please place the device away from magnets, electronics and PC. 2) I recommend flipping the device a few times before placing horizontally to calibrate the compass in the device. 3) The directional meter displayed in the app is based on magnetic north. The developer assumes no responsibility for any loss or claims by third parties which may arise from the use of this app.
