Compass view

Open RCGV1 opened this issue 1 month ago • 2 comments

What changed?

Added a compass view to help you navigate to a node.

Why did it change?

This enables Meshtastic to be a more useful tool in offgrid scenarios where you need to quickly locate a friend, dog, or other Meshtastic tracker.

How is this tested?

Tested on my iPhone and verified the directions.

Looks good! Very handy for backpacking and SAR use cases. Can the node indicator match the nodenum color?

Just wanted to come and give a huge ❤️ for this. We have used Meshtastic for a few years a various festivals now; and "navigate to node" in a compass style is critically needed- and this is amazing. We have been using w3w's and copying locations back and forth- thank you so much! looking forward to it making it into the main release.
