WOTA: U-Boat Compass

This is a working detailed 3D-Simulation of a U-Boat compass used on German Type VII U-Boats during World War 2.

This App uses artwork from the upcoming mobile submarine simulation "WOTA: Wolves of the Atlantic“ and was developed in cooperation with the Technical Museum U 995 of the German Naval Association. In addition, the app comes with a short animated tour detailing the compass installations aboard Type VII submarines.

Features:

- Compass assisted by the gyroscope.

- High resolution 360° panorama of U 995’s command room. Take a virtual look around by moving your device.

- Look at the compass from different angles by moving your device (lockable). Use pinch to zoom gesture to resize it.

- Animated information tour with 3D models of a Type VII U-Boat and its command room.

- Choose your compass case color: Black, Gray, Brass or Transparent.

- Outer (360°) and inner (10°) compass ring, just like on a typical naval compass.

- Angle of List indicator.

- Rate of Turn indicator.

- Speedometer (requires built-in GPS.)

- Latitude and longitude (requires built-in GPS or Wi-Fi network connection.)

- Different units (knots, km/h, mph, ROT per second or per minute.)

Important: like all compass apps, this app is based on the built-in compass chip. Please don’t use this app for critical applications like real world navigation
