      I hope to have a scale for distance and compsss in map. That would be great for outdoor activity.

        To measure distances, with a long press on your mobile device screen you get the Distance & planning feature:

        Windy does not include a compass, the top of the map is the north direction. Your phone is probably equipped with a compass.

          This is why passing manual land navigation tests with a compass and map is still required for officers, whether at West Point, OCS or ROTC.

          That's not to say that they all actually pass it though...

            You are talking about land manual navigation with paper map and compass which I did many years ago. This has nothing to do with Windy which is a weather app, not a navigation app.
