Checking device sensor support...
Tip: if the heading looks off, wave your phone in a slow figure-8 a couple of times to let it calibrate, and move away from metal objects / laptops.
Free browser compass - no app install. Works on your phone using its built-in sensor.
Tap "Enable Live Compass" above. On iPhone/iPad you'll get an extra prompt asking to allow motion & orientation access - just allow it.
247 Compass uses the standard orientation sensor built into your browser to read your phone's magnetometer - no app or plugin needed.
The dial rotates in real time to track true north, with your exact heading and direction shown below it.
Accuracy depends on your device's built-in sensor. Keep it away from metal objects, magnets, and other electronics for the best reading, and calibrate with a slow figure-8 motion if the heading looks off.
Most desktops and laptops don't have a magnetometer, so live tracking won't be available. The compass still displays properly, it just won't receive real heading data.
No. 247 Compass runs entirely in your browser - no download, no app store, nothing to install.
No. It only reads your device's orientation sensor to show direction - it never accesses your GPS location, and nothing is sent to a server or stored anywhere.
iOS requires an extra permission prompt for motion and orientation access. Tap "Enable Live Compass" and allow access when Safari asks.
