About Compass Map

A compass-first walking view: the compass rose turns with your phone, and a green arrow points to wherever you want to go, with distance and how far to turn.

How to use

1. Open on a phone and tap Start compass. Allow motion and location access.
2. Tap anywhere on the map, choose a nearby place, or search a World Heritage Site to set a destination.
3. Turn until the green arrow points straight up, then walk.

Good to know

• Compass sensors need calibration. Wave the phone in a figure-eight if the heading looks off. Metal and magnets nearby throw it off.
• Location and compass data stay in your browser. Nothing is sent to the server except a nearest-site lookup.
• Laptops usually have no compass. The map, distance and bearing still work.
