Ecliptic Compass

Ecliptic Compass is a compact navigation app that combines a high-precision digital compass, GPS navigation, and celestial ecliptic references to help hikers, sailors, and amateur astronomers find accurate bearings day or night. Core features include a stabilized compass and bearing readout, an ecliptic and solar position overlay for sky-aligned navigation, and offline maps with route recording and waypoint export. Built for reliable outdoor navigation and quick sky alignment, it uses sensor fusion and simple tools to reduce setup time and improve accuracy.

1. Download and open the app, then grant location and motion permissions when prompted. 2. Calibrate the compass by following the on-screen rotation guide, then choose a mode: Compass, GPS Navigation, or Ecliptic Overlay. 3. To navigate, tap the map or enter coordinates to set a destination; start the route to view bearing, distance, and turn-by-turn guidance with offline maps. 4. For celestial alignment, enable the ecliptic overlay to see solar and planetary positions and lock a bearing for night navigation. 5. Save waypoints, record routes, or export GPX files for sharing and later use.
