About Aircraft Compass
Aircraft Compass provides magnetic compass and GPS ground-track functionality depicted as an aircraft directional gyro, complete with a functioning heading bug.
It uses your phones internal sensors and global positioning system to present you with an accurate magnetic heading or ground-track.
Features:
- Magnetic heading sourced via internal accelerometer, gyro and magnetometer sensors
- Ground-track sourced via internal GPS
- Functioning heading bug (just drag with your finger!)
- Filtered and smoothed display - no jitter or jumping!
- Support for portrait and landscape screens
- Support for multiple screen resolutions
Usage:
Aircraft Compass is very simple to use. Move the heading bug by touching it and sliding it around. You can switch between magnetic heading and GPS based groundtrack using the menu, as well as changing between portrait and landscape modes

Works perfectly in the GPS derived Ground Track mode.. but nothing ( yet) in the magnetic compass mode on my new Tab2.. I am so very pleased with the VOR app from Sensorworks.. that I am giving it 5 stars anyway.. and hope the lack of magnetic compass funtion is either my fault.. or will be cured in an update for my Tab2 Very nicely damped, great graphics, easy to use. I probably have the latest version of icecream sandwich in my Tab2 ( purchased feb 2013)... that or the fact this android thing is completely new to me could be the problem. I'm getting the gyro horizon app from sensorworks.

Exceedingly stable and great on the ground as well as in the air - now if it would give me a course to steer back home from the pub I'd give it 6 stars - just joking, its a great piece of kit

Love it, would like to see better heading setting options. Like just dragging the bug where you want it or entering in a number

A compass that works is an achievement; its a pity that the phone magnetometers don't match up to it. I have 5 different phones that display different headings in magnetic mode!!! Love the smooth action.

Quit working so I paid for it then became completely unusable on my Nexus6. I want my money back.
