 Menu & Setttings

- Scale option for maps and drawings. enter [Scale] at the settings.


※ Orientation sensor ??
Most protractors and level apps are using only an acceleration sensor. But, this way has a limitations. When the slop is bigger than 60 degrees, the result can be inaccurate.

This app provides the best solution. Orientation sensor!! It calculates tilt using both magnetic sensor and acceleration sensor. The result becomes more reliable. I recommend that you turn on this option. But some custom ROM and non-magnetic devices cannot activate orientation sensor. Please check your specifications.
