A compass is an instrument used for navigation and geographic orientation that displays the cardinal directions. It is typically made up of a magnetized needle or another element, such as a compass card or compass rose, that can change direction to align with magnetic north.

The Compass Gadget is a mobile and electronic version of a compass. In the settings, you can customize your app with various background colors and compass designs. If you have GPS enabled, you can save the most important locations and navigate back to them. The Compass Gadget works without GPS and only requires it to navigate back to saved locations.
