ABOUT Universal Compass Demo
Universal Compass is a compass, that can point to any location you want. (It also points north.)
THIS IS A DEMO: You can only create and edit one personal location at a time.
Create new locations you want to point to by either entering the coordinates manually or selecting them on a map. Finally choose an easily recognizable color for each location.
After creating your locations, select which of them you want to display on the compass. Longpress a location in the list to edit/delete it.
The map supports simple search functionality and a "My Location" button in the top right corner. If a location can't be found, try adding city and/or country to the query.
By default, Universal Compass will use your network location to figure out where other locations are in relation to you. When the distance to a location is smaller than the current accuracy allows, Universal Compass will try to get a GPS signal. You can also choose to always have GPS enabled in the settings.
Saved locations can be exported to an xml file. Exported files will be saved in /sdcard/UniversalCompass. The full version also offers import functionality.
NOTE: When your device is connected to a PC via USB: Due to a bug in Android you may have to restart your device for the exported files to become available on PC.
NOTE: Due to the method of calculating the orientation of the device, the displayed compass bearing can be inaccurate while the device experiences acceleration.
Required Permissions:- Location: necessary for calculating bearing to other locations- Vibration: give user feedback when selecting a location on map
