Compass Calculator 0.4.00

This compass app serves as a comprehensive educational tool, covering magnetic and gyro compass types. It provides detailed explanations of variation, deviation, and gyro errors in the theoretical section, which are then practically applied in the calculator section.

Users can calculate heading relations in two ways: from compass to map and vice versa, for both magnetic and gyro compasses. The calculator is designed for both learning purposes and real-life scenarios.

A notable feature of this app is the step-by-step presentation of calculation results, allowing users to understand the process thoroughly. Additionally, a plot illustrates the distinctions among true north, magnetic north, and compass north, emphasizing the importance of this distinction.

In addition to the compass functionalities, users can benefit from a compass check feature that calculates deviation based on a true bearing and the type of steering compass employed. The detailed calculation steps provided enhance user comprehension.

The theoretical section serves as a valuable reference with nine easily digestible sections. Section 6 offers commonly used formulas for quick consultation.

As an added bonus, the app includes three extra tools: magnetic variation calculation, sun azimuth calculation, and moon azimuth calculation based on time, date, and location. The magnetic variation tool accurately determines magnetic variation using the World Magnetic Model (2015-2020).

The sun and moon azimuth tools assist in determining compass errors in situations where leading or range lights are unavailable.

Users are encouraged to engage with this compass calculator app for a rich learning experience.
