Purpose
Use live sensor headings, true north, trip tracking, process recovery, night display, and a calculated Sky Scanner with constellation patterns without creating an account or connecting to the internet.
Current Status
Beta testers needed. Constellation rendering is implemented. Compilation, physical heading, notification, process-recovery, outdoor distance, sky comparison, and battery verification remain in progress.
Pre-release Testing
Even if Maxxed Compass is still in development, testers can request access. A clear request helps us prioritize the next launch pass, prepare a tester build quickly when feasible, and collect real-device feedback before public release.
Core Workflow
- Reliable heading sourcesUses the rotation vector with accelerometer and magnetometer fallback.
- Magnetic or true northApplies geomagnetic declination and reports magnetic interference and calibration state.
- Trips that recoverPause, resume, stop, segment, save locally, and recover an active trip after process loss.
- Constellation Sky ScannerSearch calculated object positions and view supported constellations as distinct star dots with connecting line patterns, a red-map mode, and optional camera preview.
Privacy
The app requests no internet permission. Sensor, location, trip, and camera processing stays on the device. The full app-specific policy is available at Maxxed Compass Privacy Policy.
Known Limitation
Compass accuracy depends on device sensors, calibration, magnetic conditions, and physical testing.
Weekly Review
This README should stay in sync with the app source, privacy policy, support flow, testing status, and latest GitHub PR work. Review it at least once per week and update stale claims before launch decisions.
Support
For a useful ticket, include app version, device model, Android version, exact steps, expected result, actual result, and whether the issue repeats.
