Description

CompassView has been updated so don't forget to download the latest version.

CompassView is an intuitive iOS app which determines the user’s view direction. It has the compass, camera, and map features in one view application to determine the bearing, direction, map coordinates, elevation, and location.

When the user launched the app for the first time, it will require the permission to access its location and camera functionalities. User has the capability to take photos of the view with the information about the bearing, direction, map coordinates, location, elevation, and time. When the user moves the iPhone device, it updates the information on the screen including the map orientations. If the access to add photos into the Photo Library is allowed, the captured photo will be automatically saved into the library.

User preferences such as map settings, map coordinate format, unit of measurements, and date/time format can be set through the settings menu. Map view can be enabled or disabled depending on the user’s preference. User’s location can be centered on the map by touching the Locate button. Map view can be zoom in or out to allow the user to further explore the area.

Applications:
- Navigations such as hiking and travels.
- In schools to understand how the compass works and apply the math and science of navigations.

Alignment option for better accuracy:

It would be good to add alignment option for better accuracy to target. If you are looking at a target, your phone may not be perpentdicular or straight up to the target. The target image can stay the same, with the phone may be swivelled with multiple positions, which can give multiple readings to the same target image. It would be nice to add some form of alightment, similar to car rearview camera where the lines curve if the car is not backing up straight....

Rudimentary tool

Needs to zoom camera.
Needs to allow font color change. White can’t be read in bright environments.
Needs to support elevation angle.
These things would make it perfect.

Only Does Landscape, Not Portrait

Portrait mode would be nice.
