Compass Lite app info
This compass is a tool to search bearings(azimuth) using the built-in magnetic sensors. It has 4 significant features. 1. Although you may turn the phone into portrait or landscape mode, the heading is fixed. 2. The Camera's view is used for reality. 3. Metal Detector is included to verify the magnetic sensor. 4. GPS is supported. The compass app depends on the performance of your device exactly. If the compass works perfectly, it means that your sensors are perfect, too. If it is inaccurate, please check that you aren't being affected by a magnetic field. Also, there are several options to calibrate your device. Compass is easy to use; just use it like a real compass. Compass app is more than just showing degrees and north, south, east and west. I have designed Compass with user experience in mind, large numbers and easy to read design. Compass also allows you to set your directions by rotating the bezel for easier and professional navigation. How to use? First well need to cover a little bit of compass jargon first. The part of Compass that moves and always points north is called the card (with N,S,E, and W indicated, and a beveled edge with a series of numbers on it). There is a movable ring around the edge of the compass, called the bezel. A red double line across the top of the compass is called the lubber line, and finally, there is a little window above the compass which is often named as side-window (as it is on the side of a real compass). Side-window navigation couldnt be simpler. You point the lubber line on top of your compass at where you want to go. Now as long as you hold your compass flat in front of you with the lubber line pointing in the direction youre going, you should always see the same number in your window as long as youre going the right way. If you see a different number, turn until you see the same number. The downside of the side window method is that you need to remember your number. Navigating with bezel works essentially the same as using the side window, but your bezel remembers your number for you. All you do is, point the lubber line on top of your compass at where you want to go, and then wait until the card settles down and stops moving. Then turn your bezel until the double triangle on the edge of the bezel (the notch right by the number zero on the bezel) is bracketing the north arrow on the card. Now as long as you hold your compass flat in front of you with the lubber line pointing in the direction youre going, you should always see the north arrow inside the notch, as long as youre going the right way. If not, turn until you see the north arrow inside the notch.
