About Northwise: Compass & GPS

Northwise is a compass and GPS app that does everything in one place, beautifully. Open it and you see which way you are facing straight away, in big numbers and plain words, like "104° East-southeast". No ads, no sign-up, no clutter.

A COMPASS YOU CAN TRUST
• Live heading with true north or magnetic north
• Direction in words, so east and west are never confused
• Accuracy you can see, with a simple figure-of-8 calibration guide
• A warning when metal or magnets are throwing the compass off
• Works offline, anywhere

FIND YOUR WAY
• Lock a bearing and get "turn left / turn right" guidance until you are on course
• Save your car, tent or hotel and be guided back with live distance
• You've-arrived alert when you are within 20 metres
• No compass sensor in your phone? Use the sun compass, your walking direction or a line on the map

YOUR LOCATION, ANY FORMAT
• Place name, altitude and speed
• Coordinates in decimal, degrees-minutes-seconds and Plus Code; UTM and MGRS with Premium
• Tap to copy, share your location or open it in Apple Maps or Google Maps
• A map with all your saved places

CONDITIONS AT A GLANCE
• Current weather, the next 24 hours and the days ahead
• Sunrise, sunset, golden hour and day length
• Moon phase, moonrise and moonset, with a month calendar
• Air quality from the nearest monitoring station

TOOLS FOR THE OUTDOORS
• Torch with one tap
• SOS signal: hold for two seconds to flash the torch with sound and vibration in Morse code
• Field guide: nine ways to find north without a compass, for both hemispheres

MADE YOURS
• A home screen of live tiles you can rearrange and resize
• Choose the readouts you care about: altitude, speed, magnetic field, pressure and more
• Light and dark mode, simple mode, and Premium compass styles including Horizon view, where the screen becomes the horizon in front of you
• Available in 33 languages

FREE, HONESTLY
The compass, bearing lock, torch, SOS, coordinates, sharing, today's weather and the next three days, sun and moon, the nearest air station and the field guide are free, with no ads. Premium adds guidance to saved places, unlimited places, the 10-day forecast, all nearby air stations, UTM and MGRS coordinates, voice guidance and every compass style.
