Pick a spot on the map, point your phone at the horizon and see a little flag showing where that might be. That's it. That's the app. Trying to figure out which cabin across the lake belongs to your friend? Want to know which direction you parked your car? This might help. Or it might not. GPS is weird sometimes. Free. No ads. No subscriptions. No promises it'll actually work on your device. But hey, when it does work, it's pretty neat.
