Compass

A compass and bubble level, laid out like the iPhone's
New in version 1.0.2
Now published as live.fourthepeople.compass.
A simple compass and level for Android.

The compass turns a card under a fixed bar so the heading is easy to read, with tick marks, cardinal letters, and your coordinates, place and elevation underneath. Tap the dial to mark a bearing and see how far you have turned off it.

Swipe left for the level: a bubble level when the phone lies flat, and a horizon line when it stands on end. It turns green and buzzes once when level. Tap it to zero against a sloped surface.

No ads, no accounts, no internet permission, no tracking.
