Open Compass

How to use

  1. Open the tool on a sensor-equipped phone or tablet and tap Enable sensors.
  2. Hold the phone flat and rotate it to read the heading and cardinal direction.
  3. Move the device in a figure-eight motion if the heading drifts or appears inaccurate.

Features

  • Compass heading with cardinal direction
  • Smooth live rotation
  • Mobile, installed PWA and Android support

Good to know

  • Compass accuracy varies by device and can be affected by magnets, metal objects and electronic equipment.
  • Sensor access requires HTTPS or an installed app/PWA. Desktop computers commonly have no orientation sensor.
  • This is a convenience compass, not a replacement for calibrated navigation or safety equipment.
