Survey Compass AR
Great for map readers as it allows you to view the compass directly on top of a map through the phone’s camera.
Survey Compass AR has three modes:
- "Ruler mode" shows North, South, East, and West, as well as orientation markings directly on the camera view
- "Grid mode" shows a grid overlaid on the camera view with orientation and elevation markings
- "Classic mode" shows a 3D classic compass
Note that this app relies on the magnetometer of your mobile device so accuracy may vary. Also, please check that your device isn’t being affected by a magnetic field. There is advice on calibrating your device within the app.
This app is supported by adverts, which is why it requires the “INTERNET” and “ACCESS NETWORK STATE” permissions.

Survey Compass has been useful for aligning small solar panels and our pool heater.
It helps when I put my antenna up
Great for lining up wifi antennas. I imagine it would work good for satellite dish setup too.
I'm in real estate and walk many hours in the forest. Love this app for its ease of use and accuracy.
Very functional, works as advertised, low memory and system burden
This tool has made easy the checking when I review property.
Gives compass and vertical angles. Exactly what I needed.
this is a very important application for a land surveyor.
Very cool
Love it
The app will not calibrate, and it's showing what I know to be north and south west. Big problem with this app.
Its a great tool for Navi and Feng shui! It says if ders a lot of metallic objects arnd u!
Works good some problems with magnetic fields though
It would be easier to read the grid mode if the font was bold or larger
Wonderful, it works just as good as the ones you pay for. Very Happy.
Accurate and very useful.
Very easy and functioning good
Works as advertised
Great tool
It was a great app work fine now I turn the app on it says calibration required after i'm done it says calibration not needed wtf? Can't make its mind up! Either way it works a few seconds than says calibrate blah blah blah. --- uninstalled
Sure to get lost with this compass.
....used to be in military special ops, and was a party chief on survey crew, very pleased
Even when 'uncalibrated' this gives great results on my P500. Perhaps calibration is a bit too sensitive? I love the grid overlay!
Best compass ive seen out!!!
Works exactly as stated.
The most accurate compass available
The best of all I've tried.
Always got a "magnetic field interference" error and the compass did not work. Didn't matter where I tried to use it. Other GPS and compass apps worked fine.
