About Compass 55. Map & GPS kit.

All-in-one assistant with a map, compass, GPS coordinates to view and share in 6 formats, altitude, distance, sunset/sunrise, speedometer with top and average speed, navigator to your target or along the route and a whole lot more!

+ Advanced target/waypoint editor. Can be also used as a coordinates converter. You can use map to check or set waypoint location and add photo or audio note.
+ Share your location via email, text message, Facebook or Twitter. This includes UTM, MGRS and Latitude/Longitude (MENU>Share my location).
+ You can use UTM, MGRS or Lat/Long, just pick your preference in settings (Coordinate Format).
+ Speedometer. Shows you the speed and pace. Speedometer also gives you options to control average and max speed and pace counters (MENU > RESET and PAUSE/RESUME counters).
+ Compass. Instant reaction compass, no delays. Automatically pickups the direction based on magnetic or GPS course. If you mostly walk or drive, you can change this automatic mode in app settings > Compass or GPS course. NATO mils? Same place in settings to set.
+ Magnetic declination δ for the current location and any location on the map (via World Magnetic Model, WMM, no need for data/internet).
+ Sunset and sunrise. So you can plan your travel better.
+ Arrow pointing to your target waypoint. Distance and bearing to it.
+ Create/measure routes and areas.
+ Barometric Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI, IVSI) in both scale and graph forms.

All above belong to a basic version. PRO Pack upgrade will add following capabilities:

+ Recording and sharing GPS tracks.
+ Moving waypoints between folders.
+ Showing ETA to a target as this requires GPS tracking.
+ Native Google map with fantastic terrain map, amazing 3D and real night mode.
+ Adding own/custom tile map servers.
+ Downloading offline maps. Offline maps import in .sqlitedb, rmaps, mbtiles formats.
+ GPX import and export for waypoints, tracks and routes.
+ Google Earth KML support for waypoints and tracks import/export. KMZ support for waypoints and tracks export, waypoints import.
+ CSV import/export for waypoints.
+ Voice coach to tell you active track distance and duration, current speed and altitude without need to open the app.
+ Support for Siri shortcuts in IOS 12 for starting and stopping GPS tracks.

+ BACKGROUND MODE. App will work in background automatically when tracking. You can use other apps while Compass 55 does its job in the background!

+ PRIVACY. Compass 55 never shares your location data with 3rd parties or ad agencies. Location data is used solely for telling you direction to a target and recording GPS tracks and never leave the app unless you decide to share by means of a track export. It always lets you know when background mode is on and never runs in background unless the track is being recorded.

! You can use this app on your iPhone as well as on any cellular iPad. **App will not work properly on iPods and wifi only iPads as they don't have GPS (external GPS module is required). As quite a lot of us are using external GPS modules, app is available for wifi only iPads and iPods.

! Please note that as with all GPS apps, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
