1. 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.
2. Uses the GPS sensor, Magnetic Field Sensor and Accelerometer to determine the distance and direction to a GPS waypoint.
3. The direction is corrected for the magnetic declination - the difference between magnetic north and true north).
4. In addition to the direction and distance to the waypoint, a compass ring shows the current heading.
5. 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.
6. The GPS reading and the time since that reading is shown at the bottom of the screen.
7. North points to True North (i. e.
8. The app tells you the direction of your destination, not how to get there.
9. Does not need to be held level.
10. Use for geocaching, finding your car, hotel, or other locations.
11. Whilst walking, look where your going, not at the app or you might trip!
1. very disappointed😣 whoever has updated software it started malfunctioning so pls look into it & clear the issues otherwise many users may left it for above said reasons.... Regards, UbaidEverything is good but still need some improvement as search waypoints and sort them with respect to the actual location.
2. Nevertheless, five stars, great work, folks! Peter.You can set the app to use degrees, decimal degrees or degrees minutes seconds for display but it only allows entry of waypoints in degrees minutes seconds.
3. It is such a good app otherwise.Hi There, i was a regular user of GPS waypoint finder; after switching my handset i am unable to find & download it; it says compatibility issue while i have brand new phone latest model.
4. Would be 5 stars if you could paste Lon and Lat as one comma separated string such a "40.1234, -70.1234"Seems to be very accurate! These type of apps work better outside of your vehicle.
5. If you use them inside your vehicle the compass reading is not right.Makes it quick and easy to determine the distance and direction to a hiking destination.
6. Say what?? Junk.Can't paste coordinates, and when I try to switch to another app to copy, the app deletes the waypoint i'm creating.
7. it is good to have 500 hundred but it is worst when you have to scroll to waypoint number 311 etc.
8. However, sorting waypoints according to distance would be an excellent addition at least for me.
9. I find myself using this frequently.It seems to work very well and accurately, only installed it two days ago.
10. This scrolling to find the waypoint is rubbish.
11. Examples: finding a spot in a large field or lake.
