All you orienteering fans, gather around, I have a great announcement for you. Not an orienteering fan? No problem, after trying Compass VO along with Virtual Orienteering for Android you will be. I know what you were thinking when saw the app name “Oh boy, not another compass application”. The Android Market is full of compass applications, each having nice features and options. So, why a new one? That’s what I’ve asked the creators of the concept behind Compass VO. The answer is simple: it has some pretty neat features not found on other products that you'll enjoy at max.
What makes Compass VO worth to try?
* Use the popular 1, 2, 3 compass system along with this digital compass, the same as a real compass.
* You can easily use an image of a map as a background. The image can be taken either from the phone’s Gallery or live with in-app integrated camera preview. But this is not all, after loading the map image you can manipulate it to suit your needs: rotate, zoom in and out, pan, everything is at your finger. The background remains saved and you can always update it, even after application is reopened.
* Uses internal magnetic field and accelerometer sensor combined with GPS and wireless networks to offer accurate information. This allows you to choose if you want to use the magnetic heading or the true heading. All received information is available, depending on chosen theme.
* Compass dial for target bearing and/or orienteering.
* Multiple themes (Orienteering, Digital, Compass Rose, Mango graphics, Night, Android, many to come in the future) for each user's taste, maybe you like a light theme or maybe a darker one... or why not the special Green robot theme
* No annoying ads, no pop-ups, no interruptions, no user spying.
I tried to keep permissions as few as possible. As you will see no “suspect” permissions like access your personal data or internet connection. So the ones that are needed are as follows:
- Camera: used only on your request, with preview in order to take a photo of a map
- Access fine location: used to calculate the Geographic North and offer Magnetic declination.
- Wake lock: used to keep the screen on all the time. This is an option in Settings, but keep in mind that it uses a lot of battery.
As a side note, please keep in mind that the accuracy of magnetic sensors in android powered devices is very variable. Based from manufacturer to manufacturer this can vary from pretty good accuracy to an unreliable one. You can always try to calibrate by holding the phone in front of you and moving it in a Figure-8 pattern, to see if it improves.
Are you convinced to give it a try ? I sure hope so. Please take a look at About page in Settings. You can rate it in Android Market (5 stars please ) or if you encounter any problems drop us an email and will do our best go fix it as fast as possible.
In the end, I must say I really enjoy working with the professional team from Just Windows Phone. Compass VO was made originally for Windows Phone Mango, carefully designed and implemented by them, and then ported by me on Android platform. I bet you wondered from what comes VO in the title? From Virtual Orienteering, this is the father project, Compass VO being a free tool to complete it. I invite you to also take a look at Virtual Orienteering community and the android application from the market.

The accuracy of the app is partly dependent on your phone's hardware( Magnetic Field sensor).If you are getting inaccurate results, chances are the problem is with the device.
★ This app receives data directly from the sensor, if results are wrong, it is dependent on the device.
★ If results are inaccurate, please check if you are being affected by a magnetic field due to metals and equipment.
★ Inaccuracy can also be caused by the presence of Magnets on Phone/Tablet Covers.

GeoReality is an Augmented Reality Android app that lets you visualize places placed on the map in reality, by showing markers representing them through the mobile camera.
With GeoReality you can explore the area around you by searching for nearby places (like Restaurants, Hospitals, Bus Stations, Stores..), or you can use text searching.
You can also add your favorite locations by adding them directly on the map or by entering their geographical coordinates (Lat/Lng).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
GeoReality 3.0 is the new generation of maps, with AR technology you can move from the 2D traditional map to the real life dimension.

The app uses Network (and GPS) location manager which is a part of GAPPS...
Try to download an appropriate Gapps package..
Let the device detect your location or pinpoint your own location manually on the map, which lets you achieve maximum location accuracy when the device unable to detect your location, and also lets you perform a nearby search around any place you choose.
* Refine your nearby search by selecting its range from the map page.

[APP][5.0+] Algeo Graphing Calculator - Powerful Scientific Calc

I've started to develop Algeo way back when I was in college studying engineering. Builtin calculator apps lack many features one needs in advanced math: variables, complex numbers, predefined constants, graphing. So I decided to build my own, and over the years I've added more and more features. It has basic calculus support now, builtin constants to speed up calculations and effective graphing.
It also has a nicely formatted input mechanism that displays formulas similar to LaTeX, instead of squeezing everything into a single line (see the screenshots below). I've found it much easier to understand when you have nested divisions and square roots.
Features
Physical constants
Symbolic Differentiation
Calculate Integrals (definite only)
Calculate Taylor-series
Solve Equations
Draw function
Sharing calculations
Function plotting and finding roots of functions
Combinatorial functions
Number theoretic functions (modulo, greatest common divisor)
Find min, max, intersections and roots on graphs
Themes (with in-app purchases)

Feedback
Please leave your comment or request in this thread, I will visit it regularly. Also, you can send an email to the following address: [email protected].
Thanks for your support! Enjoy it!
comparing to other similar apps, it s much smoother
well done ?
I've just released version 2.17! The biggest new feature, requested by many, is displaying graphs with polar coordinates. Until now, only cartesian plots could be drawn but there are many other type of plots (side note: I plan to include parametric functions as well in the future). With polar coordinates, you can draw spirals and circles as well. To switch between cartesian and polar coordinates, click on the top right button in the graph input screen.
All the changes in the new version:
Polar coordinates
Added French translation
Larger keyboard for phones with large screens
Fixed a bug with powers of large exponent
Fixed a bug with stuck keyboard on first start
I've uploaded a new version for Christmas, with a minor tweak: you can now slide the keyboard down. This lets you see more of your calculation history without excessive scrolling. Enjoy!
I really enjoyed the app, it is such a good replacement for my calc when I forget mine at home. Keep up the good work
I just wanted to send an updat, since December several minor version were released. These were mostly small bugfixes, for example sometimes after a parentheses power was placed incorrectly, looking ugly. Also fixed some crashes.
We have introduced an UI change that lets you easier call copy&paste options. Unfortunately, we have so far mixed reviews. If you have any comments on it, we would like hear it!
There is a new version on the play store! Aside from many small bugfixes, a new feature arrived to graphing: it is possible to make the axes always visible on the screen. This is useful if you are inspecting values away from the origin. Also, you can pull the keyboard down so more of the history is visible (this was actually in an earlier release but I forgot to mention it before )
I have included you app in my comparative review of advanced calculator apps.

Compass provides info related to direction and Clock fetches the time related information based on the current location and timezone and also sun's information like Sunset, Sunrise, Twilight and many other info.

Note -
If you just tried this app and you encounter some issues, crashes or any other problems, do report me with problem, your device name and android version, I know crashes are ugly but they provide an important step into making the app better, it might not cost you much time but will help me a lot into making this app even better :fingers-crossed:
