Pointy Navigation vs Bumpass

Pointy is a simple walking compass for iPhone. Pick a place, then walk by direction and distance instead of following turn-by-turn instructions. Search for a destination with Apple Maps, drop a pin, or choose a saved place. When you start walking, Pointy switches to a calm black-and-white arrow screen that points toward your destination and shows how far away it is. Pointy is useful for walking across neighborhoods, finding a parked car, returning to favorite places, and staying oriented while still choosing your own streets. Features: • Apple Maps-style place search • Drop-pin destinations • Saved places and recent places • Parked vehicle marker • Full-screen arrow guidance • Distance and simple direction text • Local walk history • No accounts, ads, analytics SDKs, tracking, or cloud sync Pointy does not provide turn-by-turn directions. It gives you a direction and distance so you can choose your own route.

The Bumpass is a low-pressure, low-stakes navigation tool. Put in where you want to go and the Bumpass will tell you what direction and how far away it is. What it can’t tell you is if there’s anything in the way, like buildings or streets or some guys field. *How* you get to your destination is up to you. It’s like a compass, but a bad one. A Bumpass.
