About Simple Compass - Map & Heading
Simple Compass helps you see where you are facing, right on the map.
Open the app and check your direction, current area, and coordinates in one clean screen. It is simple enough for everyday use and useful when you want to orient yourself outdoors, while walking, traveling, or checking a place on the map.
✨ What you can do
🧭 See your direction clearly
• Check your heading in degrees, such as 182° S
• View a compass directly over the map
• Choose a large compass, edge direction marks, or a compact view
🗺️ Use it with the map

• Tap once to return to your current location
