TechKnow With Tantra: Spyglass

ByYazdi Tantra

If you go hiking or on adventure rides into unknown places, which have low or no connectivity, be sure to carry the Spyglass app – an essential offline GPS app for outdoors and off-road navigation. Packed with tools it serves as binoculars, heads-up display, hi-tech compass with offline maps, gyrocompass, GPS receiver, waypoint tracker, speedometer, altimeter, Sun, Moon and Polaris star finder, gyro horizon, rangefinder, sextant, inclinometer, angular calculator and camera. Spyglass operates in 3D and uses augmented reality to show object positions, info and directions to them overlaid over camera or maps.  You can save current position, add a point from maps and manually enter location coordinates. And then find the saved place later simply by following directional arrows. Spyglass is the perfect companion whether you’re outdoors exploring nature or simply trying to locate your car in a parking lot!
