Wonderful App!

We have used this AppIn all the national state parks that we have visited - and where I could definitively mark the spot where I found a new dinosaur foot print up in the Delicate Arch trail which was great fun. I only wish whoever made this app could make a replacement for the Intellicast computer weather site which is now gone. Thank you for this wonderful app who ever you are. My husband who went to MIT (astronautics) loves this app also.

Everything a good compass can do but…

It lacks a direction of travel line and an orienteering arrow. You can certainly shoot an azimuth by setting a way point, and can see direction of travel once you start moving but…It would be nice to be able line up the direction of travel, the needle, and orienteering arrow; then two finger turn the bezel to say 10°, turn your body until the needle is inside the orienteering window and walk following the direction of travel line. Should be an easy UI update. It also lacks a ruler, which I imagine is harder to implement with all the different screen sized (or need to calibrate it) and wouldn’t be easily used with a paper map (and not needed for a digital map). This is a full featured compass that makes use of all the phone sensor data and map data and nicely integrates gps, gyros, and accelerometers. it even emulates a site glass when you hold the phone 90° and “look” through the phone screen.

Pretty Great but…

I’m having a lot of fun and getting plenty of use from this app but I’m wondering about a couple of things which annoy me to the point that I can’t give it five stars. When adding a new destination via a map location, is there a way to also have the correct elevation of that specific location included? When I add a location, the correct GPS coordinates are there but I believe it is using my current elevation and not the elevation of that desired location.Also, I read the manual and it mentions a Car Mode but I do not see that option in settings. Has it been removed? Is there an alternative? It appears the manual is a bit outdated.I’m still trying to learn the full Protektorat of this app. Other than what I mentioned above, I’m loving it!

Quit your unsolicited ad prompting, dod gamnit!!!!!

I am personally offended by intrusive advertisements! This would’ve been a five star app. Unfortunately, like way too many other venues, they seem to think that aggressive intrusive advertisements are the same as having someone stick their finger down your throat! Because I get really pizzed when I’m trying to look down on this app real quick at a stoplight and this full-page dam ad covers the face of the app until you shut it manually! And it doesn’t do it just once it is artificial stupidity as opposed to artificial intelligence! I don’t know maybe these ad developers are on crack or some thing.

Not holding saved location

I just downloaded this app for remote area use in a very vast forest hunting area, but first I decided to test this on my property because getting lost and not able to find your vehicle is a very scary feeling!!! I put up a post holding it up in the air with a concrete block, I add the current location as taught by the videos, I walked 200 yards away, the app showed the post that it was on the ground in front of me on the ground when the post was 200 yards behind me. At first I thought I did something wrong, I tried it again marking the post area from the ground or to the tip of the post in the air. Still same result, I tried a different target which was my personal vehicle, this time I saw the marker to my truck literally glitch slowly moving to the east. I thought this app would help me get to my vehicle i mean it said off road, wilderness, but I guess they DIDNT MEAN OFFLINE! I was shocked that this app wasn’t dont what I thought it would. I’d like a developer to contact me, in the meantime I’ll be buying a map a REAL ALUMINUM COMPASS, and ranger beads!

Elite Quality App

This is one of those rare apps that you come across every so often that truly demonstrates the power of what an application on a smart phone can do. I personally have only come across a handful of apps that are what I consider "elite". This App works flawlessly. The design is very slick and minimal which I equate to quality. I could honestly see this application being something that you would see on a screen in the cockpit of a jet aircraft. After using this app for only a short time, it becomes obvious that the creator of this app has the Swift/Objective-C programming language mastered. I honestly wish that the author of this app would create a Celeste you'll start tracking app as I know it would be five stars as well. By this up with confidence if you are looking for a top-tier application that turns your smart phone into a precision measuring instrument.

This is the one

The ONLY thing that’s a drawback about this app is that if you’re truly out in the middle of nowhere without internet service, the map overlay won’t work. But that is not Spyglass’ fault, and everything else here is *superb*. This is a professional-grade compass, and then some. Sextant, inclinometer, rangefinder, and other goodies. Oh, and the maps issue? You can download offline ones if you plan ahead. Highly recommended.

Good documentation

As apps do more and more, and become increasingly complex, it’s essential to have some sort of user guide if you’re to use all the capabilities. Spyglass does, and has done so for years. I appreciate that. In addition, the Spyglass developers keep the app up to date, and add *real* improvements periodically, not just pretty pictures that take up space but don’t improve functionality. I appreciate that as well. There’s a small but steep learning curve to use this app. But you’ll quickly see what it’s all about, and you’ll start nodding your head and smiling, as I did when I first used it.

Phenomenal UI

Such an interesting and helpful source of information on long drives. However, I have one suggestion: in car mode, using trajectory for bearing is essential. I hope the developers will incorporate a similar function for horizon calibration. Since there is no reliable mount that will eliminate shifts in a phones vertical movement, a user can never be confident in the accuracy of the horizon calibration. I imagine a calculation with the shift in elevation could provide adequate data. I would prefer reliability and consistency over precision with this feature while enabled. Thanks for reading!!

What happened to the Open Street maps?

Back to normal with OSM maps after an app deletion, reinstallation. It may have been a map caching issue. Funny thing is, I had only been using OSM maps. Once the app was updated to the newest version, the USGS Topo maps were there and enabled. Toggling to OSM maps numerous times, restarting the devices did not clear the issue. This was on two different devices…both devices required the app deletion, reinstallation to get them back to normal. App rating changed back to 5 stars.The “Open Street maps” that I used exclusively are now gone and are now instead USGS topo maps…what happened to the OSM @ Happymagenta maps??? Sorry guys but I dock you three stars for removing a great map option with an “update”.
