How to apply bubble levels on the Compass app
The Compass application contains two tools that will be of interest to hikers, but also to DIY enthusiasts. One is a spirit level, the other an inclinometer.
The spirit level
Swipe the Compass app from right to left to access the bubble level. And then you get access to an extremely simple interface.
Perfectly flat, the two circles are superimposed. The principle is the same as that of the two crosshairs of the compass. Conversely, when your iPhone tilts to one side, the circles shift and the tilt value is displayed.
Inclinometer
Swipe the Compass application from right to left, and then place your iPhone on the edge to access the inclinometer. A straight line materializes the horizontal position.
The bank is revealed in degrees on two axes: in roll and in pitch.
Note: When measuring a tilt, be aware of the buttons on the sides of the iPhone.
