Compass 55 never shares your location data with 3rd parties or ad agencies. Location data is used solely for telling you direction to a target and recording GPS tracks and never leave the app unless you decide to share by means of a track export. It always lets you know when background mode is on and never runs in background unless the track is being recorded. ! You can use this app on your iPhone as well as on any cellular iPad. **App will not work properly on iPods and wifi only iPads as they don't have GPS (external GPS module is required). As quite a lot of us are using external GPS modules, app is available for wifi only iPads and iPods. ! Please note that as with all GPS apps, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

I use this app when ride off the beaten trail on my KLR 650 and it make tracking my trail and ride a breeze. I can review rides and take new paths. I also plan to use the app while driving truck to track route, time and speed. All helping make me a more efficient driver and a more adventures rider. I highly recommend the paid version of this app, with its added features it makes using the app more fun.

I needed to mark a spot in the Coastal marsh so I could return to it on an ongoing basis. There’s hardly any reference points around that I could truly rely on for dead reckoning. This app seems to be what I’ve been looking for. Not a bad learning curve. It’s very responsive with hardly any latency in screen response. Love the feature that let’s you dial in longitude/latitude.

I’ve been using this app for hunting trips the past few years. It is a great app that has saved me several times. I have so much faith in it I leave my stand on tree in unfamiliar woods, mark it as way point come back to it in morning with no problem.
