Ever been in a different city and needed to find your car? Or the train station, your hotel, or your tent at a festival? Nobody likes walking in circles. CrowFlies fixes that. Save where you are before you set off and its compass always points straight back, as the crow flies. Or drop a pin anywhere on the map and let the compass show the way there, even with no signal. It tells you how far you have to go, and counts your steps along the way. Great for exploring new places, meeting friends in a park or a crowd, and finding your way home after a run or a ride somewhere new. WHAT'S IN 6.0 • Made for iPhone Duo. Open the device and the map sits beside the compass. Half open, the map takes the top half and the compass the bottom. Folded, everything you need fits the outer display, with the controls down the side. • Made for iPad. The same side-by-side layout, with your waypoints, the compass and the map all on one screen. • The map follows your places. Flick through your saved points and the map highlights each one; tap a pin and the list moves with you. • Add waypoints straight from the map, with an address looked up for you or the exact spot you pressed. • A fresh look with Liquid Glass controls, and it follows your light or dark setting. WHAT YOU GET • A compass that points to any saved place, with distance and bearing. • Save your current spot with one tap. • Long-press anywhere on the map to add a waypoint, snapped to the nearest road or exactly where you pressed. • Step count and walked distance on the compass screen. • True north or magnetic north, metres or feet, your choice. • Works without an internet connection once a place is saved.
