Compass 4D
Free AppAbout Compass 4D
Augmented Reality Compass.
Panoramic Compass.
Show planets positions
also show towns around your GPS position without internet connection.
Please leave comments for improvements.
This compass uses the magnetometer, gyroscope(if available) and the accelerometer. it’s a full featured IMU (9DOF), with highly efficient stabilization algorithm.
Tested on “Nexus S”,”Galaxy S2″ and “HTC Sensation 4G”.
Slide the screen to zoom.
- Don’t forget to calibrate(*) your compass, if you see the magnet.
To acheive this, you must rotate your phone (at least 180A° in all directions)
if the magnet continues,
- Stand back from iron objects.
- Remove your magnetic case.
if the magnet persist:
- Unplug or replug the device (the cable also emit magnetism)
- Restart (!) Device. (curious Android feature)
(*) : there is no bad magnetometers (magnetic north sensor), only bad calibrations. And sometimes ill-algorithms “separation”. The problem with these sensors is that the phone itself sends a strong magnetism. Sometimes even the act of playing a sound, recharge or activate the camera disrupts this sensor.
To separate the constant magnetic device to that of the earth, we must make him make important rotations in all directions.
4d compass contains an algorithm for error detection. It indicates a problem by drawing a big red magnet.
4d compass also contains its own separation algorithm, applied on top of that made by Android.

Have to go with 5 stars as it does what's expected.would like to see a star identifier with the planet tracker.but for a free, innovative app that lives up to its claims,with no adds....take what you get and be satisfied.had this on S4 and just installed on V10. Landscape/ portrait orientation was off and compass bearings were way off on both phones, common to majority of complaints.turned off 90° interface in settings and worked perfectly.

Simple and effective interface. I believe it is one of the best UIs for a compass. Working as an augmented reality by showing the live camera footage is a nice touch. Recommended! (the bad part: it took many months until the app was fixed for Android 4.2.2)

Works really good. If this is all I had I would not hesitate to use it in an emergency. But I still prefer a true compass. No real way to know if the declination is accurate but being digital probably is true.

It definitely works and is more of a novelty and entertainment compass then a survival device but I enjoyed it.

"Device only " location (GPS only) took some time to display the towns. I love the fact that the phone doesn't have to be held level for the compass to work.

Not working properly now! Down to 2☆. Where I live in UK it's easy to determine N,E,S,W. But now it says West is North!! So Cardiff, Wales is North!!! Please fix asap as this was a great app that worked very well.

The compass doesn't move. I figured it would track with the camera, but, alas, no dice. Maybe if it works better after an update or something I will change my review.
