Description

Uses the GPS sensor, Magnetic Field Sensor and Accelerometer to determine the distance and direction to a GPS waypoint. Does not need to be held level.

Normally a compass needs to be level to get the correct reading, but this app uses the accelerometer reading to convert the magnetic field reading back to the horizontal plane.

In addition to the direction and distance to the waypoint, a compass ring shows the current heading. North points to True North (i.e. The direction is corrected for the magnetic declination - the difference between magnetic north and true north).

The GPS reading and the time since that reading is shown at the bottom of the screen.
Use for geocaching, finding your car, hotel, or other locations.

• Store up to 500 waypoints.
• Imperial or Metric units.
• Import and Export waypoints as GPX files.

Arrow colour changes to green at less than 30m and blue at less than 10m to make it easier for littler ones to identify that they've reached the waypoint.

Whilst walking, look where your going, not at the app or you might trip! The app tells you the direction of your destination, not how to get there.

Only as good as the sensors in your device. Use for Indication Only.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

5 ★It's a good gps app
5 ★Very good, thank you all for all.
5 ★fantastic worth installing..
1 ★No UTM, MGRS or USNG ... ????
4 ★Does the job!
5 ★wow...just amazing very good
5 ★r wade thm;rough hi ISO Dr
4 ★Still need to do some further testing, but it seems to work well. However, the feet/miles units do not work as it should. At a very close distance, it stays in the meter unit mode, instead of feet. Further away, it reports in miles as it should. Hopefully, that will be corrected with the next update. Also, no way I could find to locate a waypoint, other than scrolling through the entire waypoint list. (Up to 500 waypoints.) 500 waypoints is a good thing, unless you have to scroll to get to waypoint #250. 😉
1 ★Not worth the trouble. Unable to find import files on device. When you manually "help it", it crashes. Don't waste your time.
3 ★It indicates change in menu, but continues to show measurements in meters even after closing/killing and restarting. I have even added waypoints but it does not work. Sad, it is nice but I need alternative.
5 ★Here is a cool app! With an interface more or less reminiscent of legacy GPS receivers from before the advent of mapping and other bells and whistles, this app offers a no-frills heading, bearing and distance to selected waypoints (which incidentally may be created by the actual receiver position, by manually entering coordinates, by clicking in a world map, or importing from an external file). Waypoints can also be exported to GPX files. Here is a suggestion for improving the program: given that most cellphone compass sensors are so-so at best, the current heading could be read from the sensor only when standing still. When above a prescribed velocity, the heading could be replaced by track (easily available in "RMC" GPS NMEA sentences). Better yet, this could be user-configurable: "use internal compass" (yes/no), or "use track instead of heading above [xx] speed". This would also benefit the many users who do NOT have compass sensors in their devices, as they could just choose to always use track (fully aware that track only makes sense when moving).
5 ★Simple, user friendly and perfect at what it is supposed to do. I have usedthis app to navigate towards waypoints on multiple treks and it works likea charm. I really love this app. Please don't ever discontinue this app,developers. I am even willing to buy a premium version for this. Just don'tever delete this one. Thank you for making this app. Thanks, sincerely! :)
