A lightweight, FOSS compass & navigation app for biking trips

Hey riders,

I built MBCompass – a lightweight, efficient compass & navigation app for Android, built for quick, reliable navigation on the trail

Main features:

• Shows clear cardinal direction and magnetic azimuths.
• Displays magnetic strength in µT.
• Live GPS location tracking on OpenStreetMap.
• Sensor fusion for improved accuracy (accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope).
• Light and dark theme support is controlled via Settings.
• Keeps the screen on during navigation.
• Portrait/Landscape orientation support.
• No ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking.
• Runs on Android 5.0+

I use it on MTB trips to quickly check my direction when switching between trails, forest roads, and unmarked paths. It’s powered by OpenStreetMap, which often shows trail details that Google Maps or other proprietary maps miss.
