Offline Augmented Reality in Italy

* Offline Augmented Reality in Italy *
See what's near you where you travel in Italy: Mountains, Lakes, Places, Buildings, etc. You don't even have to be nearby Italy: You can manually set your location to a place in Italy to pretend you are there. Decide if you want to see places nearby, or famous cities around the world.
Works everywhere: By the sea, in the mountains, in the city. Without the internet, without coverage.
Turn the phone sideways to view on the camera screen the places that are nearby. Take a picture of what you see, and send it by email, or post it on facebook, directly from the App!
You can also add your own places!
In Sight Italy is also an altimeter, speedometer and also estimates the distance you've traveled. Choose between metric (km, meter) or imperial (miles, feet) units.
All data is built into the App, so you don't need internet. You only need internet when you use the map or send a picture on email or post it on facebook.
In Sight Italy relies on the compass and GPS of your device. Best results are achieved if you are outside.
COMPASS CALIBRATION AND ACCURACY.
One way to calibrate the compass is to move the phone in an 8-number manner 3 times: Once when the phone is in landscape, once in portrait and once facing up. Also stay away from magnetic sources that might influence the compass. For the compass to be accurate under usage, you have to be outside to get a good location reading.
