Billed as “AR compass, rangefinder, GPS tracker, stars, maps”, Spyglass is an iPhone/iPad app. It features Augmented Reality to overlay navigation data on to the phone’s viewfinder or on a map.
According to the iTunes description, it features, “Spyglass features a hi-tech viewfinder, milspec compass, gyrocompass, maps, GPS tracker, speedometer, optical rangefinder, visual sextant, gyro horizon, inclinometer, angular calculator, 5x zoom sniper scope and camera.” Lots of features here.
I really dig the fancy pointers.
Works as well as AK-47, both made in Russia 🙂
Got it for the hell of it and it looks pretty good for what it is but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to use the range finder. If that works, it’s worth that alone. Something tells me it won’t 😉
That looks amazing – and all these iPhone apps are very cool – but is the iPhone really rugged enough for field usse???
I am gonna say “no” but there are guys using them. The same goes for pretty much every other kind of mobile phone as well.
