How Can I Check My Directions Online?
The quickest way to navigate online is by using an online compass website. Unlike mobile compass apps that require
installation on your phone, online compasses can be utilized without installation and only require an internet
connection. Here's how to use our site's online compass
Geographic Directions on the Compass
On the compass image, the letter "N" represents magnetic north, while "S" stands for magnetic south. "E" indicates
the east direction, and "W" denotes the west direction. Additionally, "NW" signifies northwest, "NE" indicates
northeast, "SW" represents southwest, and "SE" stands for southeast.
Degrees on the Compass
The arrow symbol at the compass's top indicates zero degrees or magnetic north. The degree of difference in your
current direction from magnetic north is displayed in the "Direction" section.
Activating Phone's GPS
To activate your phone's GPS, simply click the "Location services" button. You will receive a request for permission
to access your phone's GPS. If you grant access, you'll not only have access to geographic direction but also
additional information such as longitude and latitude.
Moreover, the compass will display your current location, the times of sunrise and sunset in that area, and the
elevation of your location above sea level in both meters and feet.
Locking the Compass
The compass lock button comes in handy when you're on the move, whether you're in a vehicle or walking. In either
scenario, your mobile phone isn't stationary. By enabling the lock mode, you can freeze the information displayed on
the screen, ensuring that the compass no longer changes direction.
Sharing Information on social media
Another noteworthy feature of our online compass is its ability to display all the compass-related information, such
as geographic direction, longitude, latitude, location, sunrise and sunset times, and altitude. Moreover, you can
easily share the elevation above sea level at your current location.
Please Note: The compass must be locked to share all
information.
Change the color of the compass
You can set the desired color for the compass by clicking on
the color palette.
