PDA Compass is a game system that works independently of the Internet and GPS. All data is stored locally on the device, therefore the game will work even without Internet access and GPS. The device must have Wi-Fi and GPS enabled for correct operation of the demo version.

PDA Compass is designed to work in a specific setting, for example, in a city with buildings and streets. The demo version will work in the same setting as the full version.

To play, the player must enter the name of the city and the name of the network. The player will then be taken to the network settings. Here, the player can change the settings for Wi-Fi and GPS.
