If you don't have time to wait for the best accuracy, that is OK, you just might have a less accurate position fix.This compass + GPS will direct you on a straight line course back to your saved location. As you deviate around obstacles (such as a tree), it will automatically recalculate the new heading and distance (like a car GPS does when you take a new road). It will always point in the correct direction, just make sure you watch where you are walking. Use at your own risk. Note: The 3G phone does not have a digital compass "magnetometer", that is why this app is 3GS and above only, as this app requires a magnetic compass.GPS signals are weaker when indoors, outdoor use is recommended, although the unit will work with less accuracy indoors, and may drop the GPS signal if indoors.

What's New

Added real time rotation to the map view, the map will point in the compass direction you are holding the phone, showing your location and the saved location and direction.Automatically size the map view to the correct size based on distance between you and the saved location.
