Are you going off for an excursion and have no compass? Want to know when Sun and Moon rises or sets, or what phase the Moon shows? Want to know the direction towards your home or even Mecca? Are you kidnapped and want to know where you are? All of that are no problem any more, you only should download this software to your mobile phone! This JAVA application requires only 150 kBytes and applicable for almost all colour display mobile phone models marketed last year. It displays a Compass with 3 orienting arrows: Orange, Blue and Black pointing towards the Sun, Moon and e.g. Mecca. Rotate the phone in a way, that the relevant arrow shall point to the Sun or Moon, and you can read immediately the directions of North and e.g. Mecca. If you want to know what time the Sun (or Moon) rises today or any selected day wherever you are (even in New-Delhi): you get the answer. You can determine your position by measuring the angle of sunbeams or moon-rays with the internal angle gauge! (Two measurements necessary.)

Re: Cool phone app for hikers

nice thingie, but you need to be from hungary to download from this site

Re: Cool phone app for hikers

Myeah, I just noticed too. Maybe one of our hungaro members can mirror it on MercuryUpload?

Re: Cool phone app for hikers

wouldn't you have to be within cell phone coverage range to use this? If I was ever hiking and in a place where I needed something like this, I can't imagine I'd have coverage.

Re: Cool phone app for hikers

^^^ You'd probably have a compass with you then. It doesn't say on the website how it works, but I guess you do need coverage yes.
