Crow’s Flight

When we ask for directions on the streets, a friendly index finger pointing towards the destination is often more than enough.

Crowsflight is a GPS compass that simply points. No instructions, no maps to orient, no lines to follow, just an arrow that points at the destination.

Functions
-bookmark your current position
-search for a destination by address or placename
-displays the distance in metric or imperial units
-shows progress (how much closer you are to your destination since you started)
-opens crowsflight:// url schemes (e.g. crowsflight://maps.google.com/maps?hnear=Budapest,+Hungary&gl=us&ll=47.547799,19.03656)
-doubles as a regular compass (red arrow)
-input latitude and longitude manually (e.g. open search, type in 40.692099,-73.944325)
-works offline (search is the only function that requires an internet connection)

By combining location data (GPS) with the compass, Crowsflight provides mapless navigation in an intuitive, glance-at-it kind of way.

  1. Is there a way to export my saved waypoints?

  2. sorry. not at this time. But that sounds like a nice feature to have. Maybe email an archive of all the points?
