Very cool with sun and moon positions displayed, also in 3D, plus magnetometer showing field strength as well as level. This is a great gadget. An ability to lock a position order to measure angles would make this app even better than it already is.

Very clear easy to read ,with nice contrasting colors. Pitch and Ya are also a welcome festive. Already recommended to friends. It's been only put to a preview test by me , I can't wait to set up coordinates and see how that works like if I am able to put in way points or points of interest on a trail or if it is more desirable to a pilot flying over obstacles! So far, so good !!!

Amazing app! The graphics, accuracy and especially the picture-in-picture feature are professional and well thought out, great job!!! One observation, it would be nice if the picture-in-picture mode would rotate with the phone. Currently only the graphics rotates and not the text. Besides that, great job to the developers!!!
