Read full description

Spot Compass is a navigation app designed to work on Apple Watch without iPhone connectivity. Save a destination in advance and the app shows the direction and distance to that spot on the watch. Navigation to saved spots works offline, so it is useful while running, walking, or traveling light. You can also add the Spot Compass widget to your watch face to see the selected spot name and quickly launch the app.
