Excellent app. The overlay feature that enables the compass to remain functional and visible while within other apps makes this compass a must have. My only request is that the app offer a simple Bearing (0-359) view in addition to the compass view.

Works but not in the car...just like a regular compass. The instrumentation in the vehicle messes with the direction. I place my phone in my mount and the compass doesn't move. Pull it away from the dash it moves.

Almost exactly what I need, but I wish the user could make it somewhat transparent in order to see what's underneath the compass.

works well. I would like to see a Pro version. I want it to launch at tablet start up and the North Indicator to be filled with Red
