Mont Blanc Compass
Read full descriptionHide full description
“Mont Blanc Compass” 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.

OVERDRIVE is an iPhone app that tracks the roads you drive and paints them onto your own map. Exploring is free, no drive limit. Next time you drive, tap Start before you pull away. Your city starts dark and fills in, street by street, every time you drive, anywhere on earth. It works like the map in an open-world driving game, except the roads are real. Flow scores how smoothly you drive. Speed and drifting are never scored or ranked. LIGHT THE CITY Your map is a dark clay model of your city's real streets, and the only light in it is the road you drove. Start a drive, put the phone down and go. When you park, every new street you covered stays lit for good. EVERY DRIVE ENDS ON A RESULTS SCREEN Your route draws itself in light, then you see what you lit, your flow and the XP you earned. Each drive becomes a poster ready to post, with the first and last 300 m of every road left off, so where you start and stop stays private. 58 ACHIEVEMENTS Medals for distance, road trips, discovery, streaks, smooth driving, crews and more, with a few kept secret. The drives you've already recorded count. Not one of them rewards speed. 2,206 ZONES IN 230 CITIES Coins to collect, flow zones to drive cleanly, scenic roads and new areas to discover. Or create zones of your own. FLOW, NOT SPEED Flow rewards a calm, smooth line: steady inputs, clean corners, gentle stops. It stays hidden while you're moving and shows up once you've stopped, so your eyes stay on the road. A REASON TO DRIVE TOMORROW Daily challenges, a Weekend Run, streaks to keep alive, levels to climb and your smoothest runs on the roads you know. DRIVE WITH YOUR CREW Add friends, start or join a crew, chat, plan car meets and climb the distance board. Convoy shows friends and crew-mates on your map while you drive. Sharing your own position is off until you switch it on. GHOST DRIVERS Simulated drivers wander your map so the city never feels empty. Every one is tagged GHOST. They aren't real people, and you can switch them off in Garage. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN While you drive, distance, time and flow sit on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so there is nothing to tap. YOURS BY DEFAULT Your routes and your painted map are stored on your iPhone, not on our servers. No ads, no tracking SDKs. Crews, friends, messages and Convoy use an anonymous account created on your device, with no email address and no password. OVERDRIVE speaks 14 languages and picks yours automatically. Use OVERDRIVE as a road tracker, a map of every road you've driven, a fog-of-war map of your own city, or a reason to take the long way home. OVERDRIVE PRO Exploring is free, with no drive limit: record as many drives as you like and light up your map. No card, nothing to cancel. OVERDRIVE Pro unlocks everything else: Flow and full drive stats, posters, medals, challenges and crews. Choose weekly, monthly or annual; prices are shown in the app, in your currency, before you pay. Annual and monthly include a 3-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase or, if you start a free trial, when the trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://overdriveapps.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://overdriveapps.com/privacy.html Drive safe. OVERDRIVE is for enjoying the roads you already drive, never a speed contest or a race. Obey local traffic laws and leave the phone alone while you drive.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mont Blanc Compass at none against OVERDRIVE's 4. Mont Blanc Compass also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). OVERDRIVE's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price there is nothing between them.
