Description:
Compass App is a GPS-based compass application that pictorially displays the direction you are travelling. It has been developed for the iPhone 3G as this has a GPS chipset built into the device. It may take a few seconds for the application to locate you. When it does, it will give you your Latitude and Longitude values, speed in km/hour or miles per hour and also the angle at which you are travelling. Note that for this application to work properly, you should be travelling faster than walking speed. You can now make your own compass from one of your pictures or using your iPhone camera. Take a picture with your camera or choose from your photo gallery, then resize and move into the compass area. Your compass image will be stored in your photo gallery. Email your compass to compassapp@googlemail.com and we'll showcase some of the best ones on our iTunes App Store listing. The application is a showcase for some of the things we can do on the iPhone. Please report any bugs to us and we'll fix them.

Great Little App.  By: delbarcelona - Mar 6, 2009 Version: 1.1.1 It does what it's supposed to. I wanted a compass since my car doesn't have one. I wanted to know in which direction I was driving, so I pulled over, downloaded this helpful application, and voila! As you drive it shows you not only the heading (N, E, S, W, etc..), but it also displays your exact position (Latitude and Longitude), magnetic heading in degrees, and even speed. I don't understand the previous negative reviews. I mean, it does exactly what a simple compass should do and it does it right. You can't criticize your dog because he can't fly; just get a pet that can.

It DOES work  By: Apple1223 - May 24, 2009 Version: 1.1.1 I tested it last night while driving home. I was on the highway and knew what it should say & it was 100% correct. It told me I was heading East at 60 mph and it was right on. When I went faster it updated my mph immediately. That's all I downloaded the app for. I don't plan on "customizing" it or use it's other add ons.If you just want to see what direction you are going & your mph, then this app is for you!

Neat App!  By: IcebergNA - 17-Nov-2009 Version: 1.1.1 This app works better than expected. I have to chuckle at most of the other reviews. Anyone expecting a full fledged navigational suite should expect to pay big bucks. This is a simple GPS driven compass which has just as much if not faster refresh times than many of the paid apps. The neat "Make Your Own Compass" feature was just what I have been looking for. I am a compass nut and have created many designs including very fancy cardinal roses which are very easy to install as compass skins in this app. Thumbs up to the developers for thinking outside the box.
Nice app  By: JakobBV - Dec 11, 2008 Version: 1.0 This is actually a great app
Works well  By: Tazraid - 19-Jun-2009 Version: 1.1.1 Good app works well. The people who can't get it to work need to READ the instructions if you do what it says and move faster than walking pace it works also do the people who down load this on iPod realize apps like this only work on iPhone you need gps for this to work. iPod as no gps so will not work
Does Exactly What It Says  By: iceberg 2 - 13-Jun-2009 Version: 1.1.1 Like most reviewers I thought that it did not work. Then I re-read the description accompanying the app - you have to be moving, faster than walking pace, and bingo! it works perfectly.
