KEY FEATURES PRECISE COMPASS True or magnetic heading, with optional Course-Up rotation so your direction of travel is always at the top of the dial. Smooth, sensor-fused readings you can trust. SAVED POINTS OF INTEREST Name a spot on save — or enable Quick Save and skip the prompt for true one-tap capture. See live distance and bearing from your current position to every saved point. Tap Navigate to make any point the active waypoint and the compass guides you straight to it. ANCHOR WATCH Drop anchor in the app, pick your drift radius (15, 30, 50 or 100 m), and your phone wakes you with a notification if you slip outside it. Keeps monitoring in the background with the screen locked.
