How are we different from other compass and navigation apps?

Northern is a powerful navigation tool that allows users to cross-validate and compare multiple directional/navigational readings within a single unified interface.

We believe this is an excellent solution to a challenging problem - the fact that no single source of information is ever 100% accurate. In essence, Northern is designed to assist our users in confidently and reliably determining their direction.

Our specialized dual compass display is shown alongside Google Maps, providing a single, simple, focused interface designed from the ground up to more effectively orient users within their environment. With Northern, you can more reliably locate the cardinal directions or select a destination from our map. Northern will then display an arrow that stays locked onto these coordinates even as you move from one point to another.

Compass Types *

<h6>Compass #1 - GPS Heading Compass</h6>

<ul>
<li>Extremely accurate with a strong GPS signal and straight path</li>
<li>Works on the Apple Watch while the phone is in your pocket</li>
<li>Users can select the number of samples included with each direction reading, ranging from 3 for more responsive readings to 60 for very long paths</li>
<li>Each new GPS location sample is analyzed along with all other samples to provide a continuous solution</li>
<li>A specialized algorithm calculates an approximate accuracy for each solution</li>
<li>GPS hardware is not affected by the same magnetic interference as the magnetometer-driven magnetic compass (Compass #2 below)</li>
</ul>

<h6>Compass #2 - Magnetic Compass</h6>

<ul>
<li>Now available on Apple Watch Series 5</li>
<li>More sensitive than the GPS Heading Compass</li>
<li>Includes hardware accuracy reporting</li>
<li>The new pointer mode allows you to view your iPhone's magnetic compass readings on your Apple Watch</li>
</ul>

NEW FEATURES

<ol>
<li>Path generation - Simple start/stop path recording lets you track your location over time.</li>
<li>Speedometer - Precision GPS analysis returns your speed in miles/kilometers per hour, utilizing our high-accuracy heading compass algorithms.</li>
</ol>

Northern is Great for ...

<ul>
<li>wanderers</li>
<li>those with a poor sense of direction</li>
<li>people who like to explore, know where they are, but not necessarily require a rigid set of directions.</li>
</ul>

Extra Features...

We have integrated Apple Maps into our Apple Watch extension, allowing users to reference surrounding streets and landmarks right from their wrist.

Northern also uses Google Maps on your mobile device. Users can toggle between terrain, satellite, or hybrid modes. We have also integrated Google Places, allowing users to quickly search for any destination with only a few taps.

Fun sharing features, including scavenger mode, let users leave scrambled messages for one another - just find the location to unscramble.

* Apple Watch Series 5 is currently the only Apple Watch model with magnetometer hardware. Previous Apple Watch models sample magnetometer readings from paired iPhone hardware. All GPS location and heading readings also come from your paired iPhone hardware.
