[App Request] Simple Compass

Open Jazcafe opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

A simple and elegant compass does not exist, on F-Droid or anywhere else. It would be great.

Thanks.

Ah, do people actually use compases? :) Ive tried creating one over a year ago, but compasses are acting so weird on Android. Sometimes Google maps are pointing in a totally different direction too, I dont want to send people in the wrong direction.

Judging by the number of paid for compasses, I guess a few people do use them. But there are no decent open source versions. If you calibrate a compass app, they usually work quite well. For example, the Sky Map app tells you to re-calibrate if it thinks the accuracy is low.
