+ Adding own/custom tile map servers.

+ GPX import and export for waypoints, tracks and routes.
+ Google Earth KML support for waypoints and tracks import/export. KMZ support for waypoints and tracks export, waypoints import.
+ Ground overlays. Import KMZ ground overlay or draw your own on the map in the app and share as kmz files!
+ CSV import/export for waypoints.
+ Voice coach to tell you active track distance and duration, current speed and altitude without need to open the app.
+ Support for Siri shortcuts in IOS 12 for starting and stopping GPS tracks.

+ BACKGROUND MODE. App will work in background automatically when tracking. You can use other apps while Compass 55 does its job in the background!

+ PRIVACY. Compass 55 never shares your location data with 3rd parties or ad agencies. Location data is used solely for telling you direction to a target and recording GPS tracks and never leave the app unless you decide to share by means of a track export. It always lets you know when background mode is on and never runs in background unless the track is being recorded.

! You can use this app on your iPhone as well as on any cellular iPad. **App will not work properly on iPods and wifi only iPads as they don't have GPS (external GPS module is required). As quite a lot of us are using external GPS modules, app is available for wifi only iPads and iPods.

! Please note that as with all GPS apps, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Brilliant app. Does everything.

AndyDurham10 on

This is a brilliant app. Just one request, I leave tracking on all the time so that I can see where I’ve been. The only problem is that it creates one file which includes a lot of days worth of data. Is there a way for the app to automatically create a new tracking file every day or every user definable period ?

MARINE NAVIGATION

D4Dayo on

I don’t often write reviews but I have been so impressed with the quality of this app and the level of support that I felt compelled to do so. I have been using Compass 55 for a few months and it is one of four apps I downloaded to try out. It was immediately far better than the other three, being more versatile and user friendly so I upgraded to the Pro version. I operate a small marine business with boats that ply poorly charted waters with a lot of shallow ground and other marine hazards. Our smaller boats do not have chart plotters so by using Compass 55 we have been able to plot routes and leave tracks which can be shared with other crew for use on their smart phones, greatly increasing their confidence in navigation, particularly after dark. The app also allows easy analysis of speed over sections of the track using different colours for speed ranges in certain maps and the ability to use the detail of Google Maps is a bonus. This past week, I had an issue where some tracks were not visible and I was hugely impressed with the speed and attention given by support to address the problem, the bug was resolved within hours. I cannot recommend Compass 55 highly enough for the quality, versatility and level of support.

Handy app , and great to play around with.

Use for Hiking

S15T on

Great app and well worth upgrading for the pro version. I use it for hiking and find the ability to download gpx files, with waypoints and tracks great and easy. I can also use in flight mode, which helps my iPhone battery life when up on the peaks for hours on end.

Compass 55. GPS & Map Kit

Raymort on

Only had this about 45 minuets and got it setup no problems. This app is outstanding and intuitive I wish it was available when in the Army. It brings a whole no meaning to my navigation needs. Well done the to the the developer(s) for a well developed app and for £3.99 it’s bargain.

Great for hiking

Fizrocker123 on

I regularly use this app for hiking by importing a gpx route file. The app is great and shows each waypoint as you close in on it. The developer is very helpful and even made an improvement to the app that I suggested. Highly recommended.
