How Can I Check My Directions Online?

The quickest way to navigate online is by using an online compass website. Unlike mobile compass apps that require installation on your phone, online compasses can be utilized without installation and only require an internet connection. Here's how to use our site's online compass

Geographic Directions on the Compass

On the compass image, the letter "N" represents magnetic north, while "S" stands for magnetic south. "E" indicates the east direction, and "W" denotes the west direction. Additionally, "NW" signifies northwest, "NE" indicates northeast, "SW" represents southwest, and "SE" stands for southeast.

Degrees on the Compass

The arrow symbol at the compass's top indicates zero degrees or magnetic north. The degree of difference in your current direction from magnetic north is displayed in the "Direction" section.

Activating Phone's GPS

To activate your phone's GPS, simply click the "Location services" button. You will receive a request for permission to access your phone's GPS. If you grant access, you'll not only have access to geographic direction but also additional information such as longitude and latitude.

Moreover, the compass will display your current location, the times of sunrise and sunset in that area, and the elevation of your location above sea level in both meters and feet.

Locking the Compass

The compass lock button comes in handy when you're on the move, whether you're in a vehicle or walking. In either scenario, your mobile phone isn't stationary. By enabling the lock mode, you can freeze the information displayed on the screen, ensuring that the compass no longer changes direction.

Sharing Information on social media

Another noteworthy feature of our online compass is its ability to display all the compass-related information, such as geographic direction, longitude, latitude, location, sunrise and sunset times, and altitude. Moreover, you can easily share the elevation above sea level at your current location.

Please Note: The compass must be locked to share all information.
