Compass GM is a gyro-magnetic compass app that accurately indicates true or magnetic heading on a numeric and dial readout. It has great response to quick angular changes because of the magnetically slaved gyro. It features a traditional waypoint list (heading and distance only, not GPS co-ordinates) and editor with a highly visible heading bug to indicate direction to the next waypoint.

Whats new:
• Red night light view to reduce night blinding. You can switch between day and night time views.

Key features:
• True and magnetic heading - True heading is derived from magnetic heading and the angle of declination (variation) obtained from your geolocation and World Magnetic Model data.

• Gyro-magnetic compass - the compass operates in the magnetic slaved gyro mode to improve response to quick angular changes.

• Clear numeric and dial readout - The numeric readout shows: Heading, angle of declination, waypoint number, description and distance with units. The dial shows clear markings at various intervals. Your current location's latitude and longitude is also shown.

• Waypoint list - The waypoint list is that of traditional waypoints (heading and distance) and does not include GPS positions or co-ordinates neither a map. The waypoint entries include waypoint number, description, distance to waypoint, and heading. You can also edit, save and load the waypoint list.

• Heading bug - A highly visible waypoint heading bug indicates your next waypoint heading on the compass dial and numeric readout. It can also be manually adjusted to any arbitrary heading. A next and previous waypoint button allows one to select any waypoint from the list.

• Tilt compensation - the compass works at any orientation and features full tilt compensation. It can even operate upside down, whatever for?

More:
• Smoothly filtered readings
• Gyro option greatly increases angular change response
• Magnetic sensor accuracy indication
• Settings (distance units and sound)
• Calibration assistance
• Help describing the main features of the app
• High resolution graphics

About this version (1.31)

This release corrects the font size so that fonts are not cut off. This ensures a better user experience especially for those who have increased their device's font size. Unfortunately the app's main layout does not take well to an increase in font size due to space constraints.
