    I've always found that one shit to use. Does it need data to refresh the maps? Better off with the $7 offline NZTopo50 apps.

    Another good site if you have data available is https://basemaps.linz.govt.nz/@-42.3...9589,z4.30,p1?

    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Go to the settings turn on “show compass overlay”
    Then turn off “use GPS course instead of compass”
    Also turn on “allow free rotation”

    When you have a waypoint selected it will show as a red circle in the top compass bearing. Rotate the phone until the red circle is in the middle of the screen at the top

    If you know the point you want to get to you can put target on that point and create a waypoint. Once the waypoint is created it will show as the red circle on top compass bar like @stug said above.

    I use topo50 too. One thing I would say is to check it doesn't need updating before heading out to an area with no cellphone access.
    Pack out heavy
