Eine kleine Android-Kompass-App, die neben der Richtung auch erklärt, wie verlässlich ihre Messung gerade ist.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

The app combines magnetometer and gyroscope readings with tilt compensation, then uses the World Magnetic Model 2025 to distinguish magnetic from geographic north. It presents disturbances, calibration needs, and confidence as plain-language explanations rather than leaving users with a bare degree value. A bearing can be recorded for return navigation, and the page says the bundled model allows calculations without an internet connection.
