Quickly see where and how high you are on earth and how fast. If you define a target you can see how far you still have to go and in which direction. It uses the a constant angle on a so called rhumb line or loxodrome, so it is not necessary to constantly adjust your bearing (as you would have to on the shortest path on a orthodrome) This application is intended for a quick lookup without tracking your position in the background over time in order to save battery power. It works completely offline and can be safely used while roaming. More features: - see the bearing to your target on a compass rose - keep a list of your favorite targets - switch between metric and imperial units - open the map and email your position - search the GeoNames database for your targets
