Compass Pro for BlackBerry® Smartphones allows you to utilize your phone as a compass and navigate anywhere in the world without any restrictions. It is compatible with all BlackBerry devices, including newer devices that come with the internal digital compass.
How does Compass Pro work? By utilizing the integrated digital compass available on some devices, your bearings are extrapolated accurately to give you the precise direction you are facing. However, if the digital compass is not available, then the device’s GPS receiver is used to determine the direction you are facing. Using these two methods allows Compass Pro to be quite accurate, combine this with the multiple Compass Modes, Compass Pro is the most complete compass application. This is how Compass Pro is compatible with all BlackBerry devices.
