The Polaris Navigation System is a complete navigation package that includes reporting on all standard GPS parameters, an odometer, altimeter, speedometer and directional compasses. The GPS is backed by a robust waypoint management system for setting and locating your targets. Record trails and store them to a trail database. Trails can be viewed later or in real time on aerial or standard maps. A satellite reporting module shows the location of the GPS satellites relative to your position and graphs each satellite's signal strength. Use satellite and standard maps for setting and viewing waypoints, trails and your position. Save maps offline using Google's Save-Maps-Offline feature. Our waypoint guidance system includes a dynamic waypoint-finding compass that will help you navigate to any saved waypoint with certainty while reporting estimated time of arrival, distance to target and other statistics. Turn-by-turn directions and route maps are included for navigating roads. While navigating, your data is backed up regularly meaning you will not lose your progress should your battery need replacement while en route to your destination. DS Software specializes in mobile navigation tools.

Great app, would highly recommend it!
I love this app! As a navigation tool, it is the best I've tried. The screens and menus are well organized so I didn't struggle trying to figure out how it works. I love the finger compass. After setting the end-point of my hike with the map I used the finger compass to point me in the right direction and it was dead-on. It is convenient to have multiple options for setting waypoints and the trail recorder works great. Maps are wonderful! Thanks!!!
Wow! What an amazing set of navigation tools. I find this app easy to use and the reporting is EXTREMELY accurate. Setting and reading trails is simple and the waypoint system is great. I especially like the waypoint compass- I've never seen anything quite like it in an android app before. The whole app has a smooth user interface and tons of rich features. Definitely 5 stars. I recommend this app to EVERYONE!
