New Display Mode: Map with Compass Overlay

Recommended Posts

Other apps that I have used had a display mode where I could see the map with a semi-transparent compass overlay. I found this to be the most useful display mode and used it all the time.

 

Groundspeak's Geocaching app has a black strip that shows your current heading (in numbers), and has a mark for the direction of the cache/waypoint. However, I don't find this nearly as useful as the graphical semi-transparent overlay with a compass rose and arrow.

Even though I don't navigate with the app, I think the OP's description would be a good navigation screen option.

 

It sounds like the type of view I use with my GPSr.  I use the map view on my GPSr, with two data fields at the top of the map.  One data field shows a directional pointer of what direction the cache coords are at relative to my path, the other data field shows my distance from the cache coords.
