Spyglass enhances navigation accuracy with sophisticated compass functionalities, including specialized compass modes and calibration techniques. It aims to provide users with the most precise digital compass experience. This distinguishes it from other navigation apps on the market by combining advanced technology and methodologies to ensure reliability in directional sensing.
The app employs 3D augmented reality to facilitate navigation by displaying object information and locations over images from the camera or traditional maps. Users can save their current position, select points on maps, or manually input coordinates. This system enables easy navigation back to saved places by simply following directional arrows. Additionally, Spyglass tracks the target and provides key information such as distance, azimuth, and estimated arrival times.
Spyglass approaches GPS tracking with a detailed focus, offering localized GPS data including coordinates in various formats, altitude measures, and speed indicators in multiple units of measurement. Furthermore, it allows for the use of offline maps that are tailored for retina displays, enhancing usability when no internet connection is available. The application also supports celestial navigation by tracking the positions of celestial bodies, thus integrating functionalities like an optical rangefinder, sextant, angular calculator, and inclinometer into its features.
