Augmented Reality (AR) Compass
With our latest update the augmented reality compass now not only works with an iPhone 3GS but also with the iPhone 4!
GPS/map-reading applications designed specifically for Iphone 4 are all over the 'net. Considering the speed these things evolve at, if there isn't a programme like this now then there soon will be. For more infomation on the iPhone 4 check out the Apple website or another iPhone 4 review site.
This augmented reality compass is a great tool, and not only if you're just strolling around. It might be useful for tourists, sight-seeing in a city they don't know so well. Or if you have no sense of direction or a tendency for getting lost, this compass really is a life saver! Even if you are doing up your house in true Feng Shui style, having a compass is necessary in order to get it right.
