Trail Sense - a lot of useful tools like compass, ruler, bubble level, metal detector, unit converter, 3D AR astronomy visualizer and many more.

I hate being reminded there's no compass in my phone, $600 pocket computer that can't find north, what a joke

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't understand. There are lots of compass apps.

Yeah, but for folks like me and the guy above this doesn't matter. Our phones is missing the actual compass hardware inside the phone that said apps needs to function.

thanks this is so cool

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

This is very cool but their nap function isn't working for me despite being in a place very famous for its trails.

I use it all the time for the variable brightness flashlight and screen-as-light-source. Also sun and moon info, asteroid alerts.

And there's a bunch of stuff that's potentially very useful. Making a live map from a map image sounds very interesting, e.g. with a historical map.

Does this have maps of it's own?
