App will work in background automatically when tracking. You can use other apps while Compass 55 does its job in the background! + PRIVACY. Compass 55 never shares your location data with 3rd parties or ad agencies. Location data is used solely for telling you direction to a target and recording GPS tracks and never leave the app unless you decide to share by means of a track export. It always lets you know when background mode is on and never runs in background unless the track is being recorded. ! You can use this app on your iPhone as well as on any cellular iPad. **App will not work properly on iPods and wifi only iPads as they don't have GPS (external GPS module is required). As quite a lot of us are using external GPS modules, app is available for wifi only iPads and iPods. ! Please note that as with all GPS apps, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

■ Offline maps ‣ Download Retina-quality maps for offline use directly from Blocoware Open Street Map. Compact WebP tiles keep downloads small and save data; map detail reaches zoom 17, with house numbers visible from zoom 16. ■ Motion recording and video overlays ‣ Turn any finished track, including older ones, into overlay videos for your video editor: on the track details screen, choose More > Overlay videos > Export. Speed and Map come from the track itself, so no extra recording is needed. ‣ To add Pitch & Roll and G-Cross, open MENU > Settings > GPS Tracking > Motion and audio data and enable Include motion and audio before you record a track. No phone video is recorded, so you can pair the overlays with footage from another camera, synced by a short clap or the track audio. ‣ On tracks with motion data, choose More > View options > Map + pitch & roll + chart to scrub the chart with the map and pitch-and-roll instrument in sync. ‣ Export individual overlays from your recorded videos for use in other video projects, including transparent clips for your video editor. ‣ From a saved video, choose Export > Overlay videos to export its overlays. ■ Camera and Video ‣ Record video even in complete darkness: in video mode, tap the flashlight button to turn on the Video light. To set its brightness from 25% to 100%, open Settings > Viewfinder controls on the camera screen. ‣ In the viewfinder, tap the zoom readout to choose a lens, or drag it to zoom. ‣ Lock focus, set it by hand, or save a focus position per lens. Use a shutter delay for steadier shots, and let the camera remember your last lens and zoom. ‣ For clearer low-light photos, open Settings > Photo capture settings on the camera screen and enable Prioritize quality in low light; hold steady during capture. ‣ Assign taps or holds in Viewfinder controls to capture photos or start/stop video; set Double tap to Black screen to hide the viewfinder during recording. ■ Video transcripts and captions ‣ On iOS 26 or later, open a saved video and choose More > Transcribe audio to transcribe its audio on-device in a language supported by your device. ‣ Find recordings by spoken words and jump straight to the moment you need. ‣ Correct, copy, or share the transcript, and import or export SRT subtitles. ‣ Follow speech with captions during replay and include them in stamped exports. ■ Points and boundaries ‣ Everyday edits stay simple. In the point editor, open More and choose Advanced under View to compare point/photo values, resolve conflicts, and sync supported metadata. ‣ See each area corner’s inner angle, including reflex angles above 180°, to read complex boundaries more clearly. Enable Show angle annotations in Maps > Common settings > Routes and areas annotations > Annotations.
