In Sight Samiland is also an altimeter, speedometer and also estimates the distance you've traveled. Choose between metric (km, meter) or imperial (miles, feet) units.

All data is built into the App, so you don't need internet. You only need internet when you use the map or send a picture on email or post it on Facebook.

In Sight Samiland relies on the compass and GPS of your device. Best results are achieved if you are outside.

COMPASS CALIBRATION AND ACCURACY.
One way to calibrate the compass is to move the phone in an 8-number manner 3 times: Once when the phone is in landscape, once in portrait and once facing up. Also stay away from magnetic sources that might influence the compass. For the compass to be accurate under usage, you have to be outside to get a good location reading.
