Spyglass

Indispensable for navigating in difficult terrain.

Super aplikace.. Chci jí vyzkoušet v letadle

Jak uz psal kolega, trochu nelogické a zmatené. Po strance funkčnosti je ale vse ok.

Skvělá aplikace, ma spoustu užitečných moznosti, ale jeji velka chyba je častá zmatenost. Je potřeba ji dochytat tak abyste se při geocachingu či jiné akci nemuseli bát že vas povede opačným směrem nez chcete jít. Kdyby nebylo teto chyby dam plny pocet takto jen bohužel dvě hvězdy je to relativne velka chyba u placené aplikace

It is Excellent app. This is real MUST HAVE stuff! I am using it on Iphone 4. Nice graphics, speed, user friendly interface. Many settings possibilities..... I love it. ------- Warning - not working on Ipad without 3G !!!! -------

This is "the real thing" in terms of professional navigation. I highly encourage people to buy the Spyglass app bundle!! This is a superior app. Thank you devs.

Years later and I still live this app. I also still wish you could orienteer like a real compass. All it needs is a direction of travel line, and an orienteering arrow (that little house to keep the needle in) and a way to turn the bezel to a specific azimuthal (without moving the map). Happy to resend screen shots of what it could look like if that helps. Original review below: It lacks a direction of travel line and an orienteering arrow. You can certainly shoot an azimuth by setting a way point, and can see direction of travel once you start moving but… It would be nice to be able line up the direction of travel, the needle, and orienteering arrow; then two finger turn the bezel to say 10°, turn your body until the needle is inside the orienteering window and walk following the direction of travel line. Should be an easy UI update. It also lacks a ruler, which I imagine is harder to implement with all the different screen sized (or need to calibrate it) and wouldn’t be easily used with a paper map (and not needed for a digital map). This is a full featured compass that makes use of all the phone sensor data and map data and nicely integrates gps, gyros, and accelerometers. it even emulates a site glass when you hold the phone 90° and “look” through the phone screen.

One of the most useful devices I’ve use on the phone thanks

This was a good app. I even paid for the full version. Then one day I launched the app and was met with “your Subscription Has Expired.” Basically saying, you paid the price we ask for our app, but now we want more money from you. How about NO! I will bought a hand held compass. Buy once and done. Just like the original agreement I had with this developer. I hate Subscriptions for apps, especially ones I already paid for.

No “map only” function. Sometimes I just want to view the map without the compass blocking my view, and also have the altitude/coordinates track that marker live. Which brings me to problem 2, a huge one: you better be on location to mark a waypoint, otherwise this compass has no idea what the elevation is. Leaving you to completely guess how much of a climb something is. This isn’t a replacement for proper orienteering, but even on my day hikes I’d like to know if a certain planned route is doable on app, since it’s more than capable of accessing the elevation data. This is a glaring omission by the developer(s), who have otherwise done an excellent job. Leading to Point 3: elevation difference on target marker is a forgotten feature as well, apparently. Why I would only want to know straight line distance is beyond me. That’s practically useless on its own in the mountains. So I’m 700’ off target but have a 1000’ elevation difference (55°grade). PRETTY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. Please fix these inconveniences and I’ll update the review with to reflect this excellent utility.
