Compass: Accurate Compass

What the app does

Compass: Accurate Compass is a navigation utility for Android phones that shows direction, location coordinates, and elevation. It is suited to hikers, travelers, cyclists, and anyone who needs basic orientation without relying on a full map app. The compass can use magnetic north or true north, depending on how you plan to navigate.

Useful navigation details

Alongside the main compass display, the app provides latitude and longitude and includes an altimeter for checking elevation. It is designed to work without a cellular connection, which makes it useful in areas where mobile service is limited. Wear OS support gives users another way to check directional information while moving.

• Switch between magnetic north and true north
• View latitude and longitude coordinates
• Check elevation with the integrated altimeter
• Use the compass when cellular coverage is unavailable
• Access the app on compatible Wear OS devices

Who publishes it

The app is published by Prometheus Interactive LLC and is listed in Maps & Navigation. It has a 4.64 rating from 44,739 reviews and more than 5,000,000 installs, giving it a substantial history of use compared with a newly published compass utility.

What to keep in mind

This is a focused direction and location tool rather than a replacement for detailed route planning. Its readings depend on the phone’s compass, location, and elevation sensors, so accuracy can vary with the device and surroundings. For best results, keep the phone away from magnetic interference and treat the displayed information as navigation assistance rather than a substitute for appropriate outdoor preparation.
