About Compass Explorer
Compass Explorer was born from a simple frustration: Why do GPS apps make navigation so complicated? Whether you're hiking a trail, exploring a new city, or finding your way back to camp, you need clear, instant direction – not endless menus and features you'll never use.
Our Mission

- Fair Pricing: Try free for 7 days, then just $0.99/month or $9.99/year
- Privacy Focused: Your location data stays on your device, period
- Constantly Improving: Regular updates based on user feedback and field testing
The Developer
I'm a solo developer with a passion for the outdoors. Whether it's walking my dog through local trails, hiking to hidden waterfalls, or discovering those obscure places that don't show up in guidebooks, I'm happiest when I'm exploring nature.
Compass Explorer was born from countless adventures where I needed a simple, reliable way to mark interesting spots and find my way back. I wanted something that worked instantly – no accounts, no subscriptions, no complicated features. Just pure navigation that respects both your privacy and your time outdoors.
Every feature in this app comes from real-world use. The distance scaling? Perfect for checking if that interesting landmark is a 10-minute detour or a 2-hour commitment. The destination lock? Essential for finding your way back to that perfect picnic spot. The multiple map views? Because sometimes satellite imagery reveals trails that maps don't show.
I hope Compass Explorer enhances your adventures as much as it has mine. See you on the trails!
