AR Compass provides an augmented-reality compass for your phone, helping you locate landmarks by latitude and longitude, measure the height of objects and navigate with clear visual guidance. AR Compass overlays directional guidance on the camera view while a configurable split-screen map and GPS readouts show position, speed, altitude and satellite count; the app is designed for hikers, geocachers and users who need a practical directional tool.
AR Compass overlays an arrow that points to a selected landmark specified by latitude and longitude. Sensor fusion of the magnetometer, accelerometer and gyroscope delivers stable headings and improved precision. A 3D augmented-reality display and an adjustable split-screen map present GPS location and detailed readouts including latitude, longitude, speed, altitude and number of satellites. Built-in tools let you estimate the height of large objects with simple on-screen controls. Magnetic field measurements provide warnings when interference is detected. Landmark management supports manual coordinate entry in multiple formats, long-press map placement, distance and bearing input, sharing and geocaching workflows; stereoscopic displays are supported on compatible LG Real3D devices.
The app offers high accuracy and stability through advanced filtering that fuses sensor data, and the AR visualization combined with a split-screen map makes navigation and waypoint discovery intuitive. Multiple methods to define and share landmarks speed up geocaching, surveying and collaborative navigation. Additional utilities such as height measurement and magnetic strength detection provide practical tools beyond a standard compass.
Accuracy depends on the phone’s sensors and can be reduced by magnetic interference or lack of calibration. GPS-dependent features require a clear satellite view, so urban canyons or dense foliage can affect positioning and altitude readings. Some advanced display features, such as stereoscopic Real3D, are supported only on specific LG hardware.
AR Compass was developed by Alex from CodeKonditor, whose work focuses on sensor-driven utility apps for practical navigation and measurement tasks.
