Why Should Life-Saving Digital Compass (Compass) Be on Your Device?
Those magical brass apparatuses (Compasses) that sailors carried while struggling with waves and explorers while crossing deserts throughout human history have today been embedded as nano-microscopic chips (Magnetometer) into the smart phones in our pockets. You no longer need those huge and expensive physical compasses to not get lost in the forest when you go camping, to check "Does the South Side get Sun?" of a flat you just rented, or to determine your direction for worship (Qibla). With the ToolBoxTR Online Compass that works with browser technology, you can get a clean magnetic reading directly via safari/chrome without downloading foreign programs (sometimes full of ads and viruses) that will burden your phone.
How Does Your Smartphone Feel the Center of the Earth?
The fact that the compass on the screen glides perfectly in an animated way as YOU Turn is not an "Internet Magic". It is a hardware event. The Hall Effect Sensors (Magnetometers) located inside smart phones sense the huge armor (Magnetic Field) that arises due to the liquid iron in the core of the Earth turning slowly. Just like the needle tip of a small magnet, that digital compass needle inside the device also wants to turn towards the North Magnetic pole of the earth every second. The tool on the screen converts this attraction sensitivity into 360-degree angular data and presents it in circular navigation.
North (N), South (S), East (E), West (W) Degree Keys
When looking at the compass face, moving with "Degree Angle" terms instead of just arrow signs is the most professional. Circular calculation starts from zero from the "Magnetic North" and proceeds clockwise:
0° (Or 360°) - North (N):
It is the zero point where the red arrow is directly at the peak.
90° - East (E):
Represents the right side, which is the direction where the sun rises.
180° - South (S):
It is the pole which is the perfectly symmetrical opposite and back of the North.
270° - West (W):
It is our left flank side, where the sun sets.
Privacy Confirmation: No One Can Track Your Location
Many compass and map applications on the internet profile by constantly recording your location data (Latitude and Longitude) to their servers in the background. This free Compass tool we have developed works 100% on the Client-Side in the Browser. When you close it and leave, no records are transmitted to our server. Only your device's sensor data is painted to your graphics card (with Javascript APIs) and deleted. Your privacy is secured in this tool.
