Crowsflight

Crowsflight is a GPS compass that simply points. No instructions, maps to read or paths to follow. When we ask for directions on the street, a friendly finger pointing towards the destination is often more than enough. By combining location data (GPS) with the compass, Crowsflight provides mapless navigation in an intuitive, glance-at-it kind of way. It uses only GPS to navigate, so once you’ve loaded your destination/s, you don’t need a data connection to navigate. Crowsflight is perfect for wandering around foreign cities. MAIN VIEWDisplays distance in metric or imperial units Drop a marker at your current position Heading pointer changes width as the compass/GPS accuracy increases or decreases LIST VIEWSearch for a new destination by address or placename Input latitude and longitude manually (e.g. open search, enter 40.692,-73.944) Location list view shows your relative distance to each location, so you can see how places compare (distances are scaled logarithmically, so shorter distances show greater difference) Rearrange your location list by long-pressing the row Share your current location via email Launch Maps to get turn-by-turn directions MAP VIEWMap view shows and allows you to select all your saved locations.

If you want save more, the app will ask you to purchase an unlock for 99 cents. **Crowsflight is not meant for driving. Most cars have too much magnetic interference to show the compass reliably in the car anyways. You probably want turn by turn directions if you’re driving, but just in case you were thinking about it...we don’t recommend it.
