I was thinking about compasses the other day when I went on my property to start scoping out where I want to build and thought of this thread lol.
Got the compass app and the physical compass that
@lxskllr posted. My GIS app doesn't show any directional data which is kinda annoying so having a physical compass while I have the app up will make things easier to map out areas and start marking trees. The app will help too but will just require switching back and forth, but I can at least use it to face north then go back to the GIS app.
I need to go back at some point since I was with a friend and it was kind of distracting. Easier to just go alone so I can focus more on what I'm doing. The physical compass is also a good backup in case my phone dies for whatever reason while I'm far in the bush. At least I could use it to get back to the road. Of course I could also use the sun for that if it's out.
