Is there an app for a basic compass{ not street type gps one} for a Nokia Lumiar 550.

[Windows Central Question]

We have tried several but none are compatable... Any ideas please... We want it for when we are in Mountains or walking mode, following ordnance survey maps.

The Lumia 550 does not have a magnetometer - the hardware component that make digital compasses work. Hence, none of the compass apps will work on it.
