Introducing Compass Pro :
The compass that shows the direction to any location you want!

With Compass Pro you can set a point on a Map, and Compass Pro will show you the direction to that point with a second marker on the compass in realtime.

Compass Pro uses both, the built-in GPS device and the built-in digital compass of the iPhone 3GS, to calculate the heading towards geographical north and also towards your defined point on the map. Of course the location of the point you set on the map is stored on your iPhone 3GS.

You can use it for several purposes:
- find your parked car
- find your hotel on vacation
- find your tent when going camping
- find interesting spots while hiking
- find your camp on an expedition
- find the next harbour at sea
- find caches (geocaching)
- find the "Qibla", the direction to Mecca

Just to name a few.

Let your compass go Pro...

This is the international version with the N,E,S,W-layout.
The localized german version "Kompass Pro" with the N,O,S,W-layout is available in the appstore too.

Please use the email-support on www.compasspro.de if you have any problems, questions or requests.

Pros and cons of Compass Pro app for iPhone and iPad

Compass Pro app good for

As theyve mentioned though, search is cuurently broken. Looking forward to the update with the fix!
The sensitivity and accuracy of this app has been an INCREDIBLE boon with geocaching. My only request would be an easier way to enter destination GPS Co-ordinates. Otherwise this is better than the built in compass app in every respect, and far more usable than swapping between the compass and the maps app!
I just upgraded to the new 3GS phone and wanted to test out the new compass feature. So I downlI just upgraded to the new 3GS phone and wanted to test out the new compass feature. So I downloaded this app and tested it with some locations in my neighborhood.   It worked great, but at first it was a little tedious to locate places on the map by hand.   But now with the search option included it works like a charm ! I also read about some more zooming features on the map screen. That sounds very handy. Keep it up!

Some bad moments

This application doesnot work at all. I wasted my money. Developer must correct it and provide an update soon otherwise it is useless. I downloaded one free compass app and that one works even better than this paid app. Thanks
Spend this dollar on a homeless person. This app does not do any of the things it claims to. All you can do with it is toggle between a compass and a map which (at least in my case) did not reflect even remotely where I was. No searching, no pin dropping/location marking, nothing. It reflects poorly on Apple for letting this thing slip by.
I agree with the other reviewer who says it is a total sham. IT DOES NOT WORK. ALL I GET IS A MAP OF 280. PATHETIC.
Seriously, spend you money elsewhere. It is not a working compass, only a picture of a compass with a link that takes you to some unknown place without the ability to change the address. SAVE YOUR MONEY!
This application should have a pop-up warning that it will NOT work on 3g while trying to install it so you have an option to cancel or should not download at all! If you are unable to read all the descriptions towards the end, it will let it download on 3g and end up with a non- working app. What a waste of money! Give me back my 99 cents!
Like the others have said, all you have is the map and the compass and no way to easily set coordinates or anything. It wont pick up on your current location.
