Are you calculating the route or just pointing the user in the general direction?

Currently, the app shows the user’s live location with real-time tracking on an OpenStreetMap-based map. It does not calculate routes or provide turn-by-turn navigation instead, it focuses on orientation and situational awareness.
I’m actively working on features like waypoint tracking, offline maps, and a GPS speedometer. The goal is to keep MBCompass a useful navigation utility, not a full routing app.
Routing isn’t planned at the moment (maybe with plugins later), since adding it would shift the app away from its core purpose and increase complexity. The main priority is to remain fully functional offline-friendly and extremely lightweight (currently under 1.5 MB).
