Simple Compass

Simple Compass provides a lightweight, accurate compass for Android that shows cardinal directions and device heading. Designed for outdoor navigation and quick orientation, Simple Compass uses device sensors to display real-time bearing without requiring an account. With offline operation and a minimal interface, Simple Compass is easy to use on hikes, drives, or fieldwork.

Overview

The Simple Compass display shows degrees and compass points (N, E, S, W) and indicates magnetic heading. Calibration guidance appears when sensor adjustment is needed and a declination option lets you view true north where location data is available. Readings update continuously while the app runs.

Key features

• Real-time heading with degree readout and cardinal labels
• Calibration help to improve accuracy when device sensors drift
• Declination toggle to switch between magnetic and true north (when supported)
• Minimal interface that runs offline without accounts

How to use

Hold the device flat and allow sensors to stabilize. Follow on-screen calibration prompts if shown, use the declination toggle to adjust for local variation, and verify readings against a known reference when precise orientation is required.
