Compass and altitude for Android

Compass and Altitude: A Simple Android Utility

Compass and Altitude is a basic Android utility developed by Raging Development. This program serves as a demonstration piece rather than a comprehensive tool for general use. It is designed to function as a simple compass and altimeter, utilizing the standard Android libraries.

Please note that this app does not guarantee the accuracy of the compass and altitude readings. The elevation data is obtained from the WGS84 meridian, and it is essential to know your local EGM96 variation to interpret the altitude information accurately.

The compass feature points in a consistent direction, irrespective of the device's attitude, and does not necessarily align with the north. The altimeter provides a height that dynamically updates as you change your location.

For those interested in exploring the app's functionality further, the source code is available on GitHub.
