The compass is the built-in navigation tools in c:geo. You can start the compass from the cache detail page for the cache coordinates itself or for any waypoints of a cache.
The top section of the compass contains additional functions either shown as an icon in the top bar or hidden behind the so called overflow menu button (three-dot button). All available functions are described below.
The icons shown in the top bar and the contens behind the overflow menu button are distributed dynamically based on your device resolution and screen orientation. Thus it might be possible, that more or less items can be found behind the menu button or instead shown as icons in the top bar on your device.
In case a menu entry is shown as an icon you can long press the icon to get a popup showing its function.
