Compass: Accurate Compass

A practical compass for Android

Compass: Accurate Compass turns an Android phone into a straightforward direction tool for hikers, travellers, campers and anyone who needs bearings without opening a full map app. It is designed around the information people use in the moment: direction, location and height.

Useful navigation details

The app can show both magnetic north and true north, so the reading can match different navigation needs. It also provides latitude and longitude coordinates, which can help with sharing a position or recording a specific place. An altimeter adds elevation information for users walking in hilly or mountainous areas.

Compass: Accurate Compass is intended to work without a mobile connection, making it suitable for remote trails and other places where signal may be limited. Wear OS support gives compatible users another way to check navigation information while moving, without taking out their phone as often.

Who it suits

• Hikers and campers who need a basic directional reference outdoors
• Travellers who want compass and coordinate information alongside other navigation tools
• Users checking elevation during walks, climbs or mountain trips
• Anyone looking for an offline compass rather than a feature-heavy map service
