My Compass XL

Features
Read full description

Compass XL is a tool to search bearings (azimuth) using the device built-in magnetic sensors and the device GPS. You can also easy switch from true North and magnetic North. The compass accuracy depends on the performance of your device. If it works perfectly, this means your sensors are perfect, too. If it is inaccurate, please check that you aren't being affected by a magnetic field and the sensors become weakened by age.

Camp Toolbox turns your phone into a complete outdoor toolbox. Every tool works offline, so it's ready whenever you are — even with no signal at the campsite. MEASURE • Ruler — measure length on screen in cm or inches. For longer objects the scale continues around the edges, so you can rotate the phone and keep measuring. • Protractor — measure any angle by dragging, with preset angles. • Compass — a clear dial with a sun-path overlay (sunrise, sunset, current sun position) to plan which way to pitch your tarp. Auto-detects your hemisphere. • Level — a precise, real-time bubble level. • Camera overlay — show the camera behind the compass or protractor and adjust the transparency to measure against the real world. • Distance (LiDAR) — measure distance on supported devices. LIGHT & SIGNAL • Flashlight — with an auto-off timer. • SOS — a flashing SOS signal plus your own emergency contacts for one-tap dialing. PLAN & ORGANIZE • Checklist — build a reusable packing list and check items off before every trip. • Gear Guide — save your gear in your own categories with YouTube setup links (thumbnails included). • Food Guide — keep your camping recipes and food videos in one place. UTILITIES • Timer & Stopwatch — countdown with vibration/sound alerts and repeat options; stopwatch with lap notes and saved records. Camp Toolbox is free, supported by ads.
