GPS question

No, sorry Gary. With this app you can place the crosshair where you want to go and read the bearing and distance. You then have to keep close watch with a compass or bring up the app and see if the blue dot moved.

I can walk with the app on and watch the blue dot move, but if you are going the wrong way you have to acknowledge it yourself and correct.

This app sort of shows you where you are and you can bring up topo, satellite or hybrid views and drop waypoints. Doesn't show tracks and no pointer.
