Invoice compass with dynamic map marks for boats, cars and portals

Hey, where's my boat? Never lose sight of your boat, car or portal again. Compass overlay with compass and map with standard pins and dynamic map marks for boats, cars, active and inactive portals.

HUD Compass offers a complete location assistance experience, combining and expanding the functionality of the immersive compass and automatic map markers (see credits below).

The scale-out compass is displayed at the top of the screen.

The compass can be switched on and off in the game.

Dynamic tags (ships, vehicles and portals) appear on the compass and map with or without tags.

Special ships and cars are supported.

Active and inactive portals can have different colors.

The portal icons show the name you gave them.

Ship labels can indicate the type of ship (hollow, high, raft) or a special ship.

You can include/exclude pin types.

The size of the label depends on the distance to the marker with custom constraints.

Customize the use of external images to display custom compasses and dynamic icons. Notes
