Determine GPS waypoints
GPS Waypoint Finder is a free-to-download travel and navigation app that you can use to determine the distance and direction of a GPS waypoint. It utilizes various sensors, including GPS, magnetic field, and accelerometer, to calculate its findings, and doesn't require being held level, unlike traditional compasses.
Uses a variety of tools
GPS Waypoint Finder works by using the accelerometer to adjust the magnetic field reading to the horizontal plane. It displays the direction and distance to the waypoint, along with a compass ring indicating the current heading, including the GPS reading and time.
It helps geocache, finds locations, and stores up to 500 waypoints. It supports both imperial and metric units and importing and exporting waypoints. The arrow also changes color as the waypoint gets closer. However, remaining attentive to your surroundings while using the app is essential.
It still needs you to be attentive
GPS Waypoint Finder is a versatile navigator that determines the distance of GPS waypoints. Features like compass direction, waypoint storage, and unit customization make it a valuable tool for geocaching. It is worth noting, however, that it is essential to maintain awareness of one's surroundings to ensure safety.
