Doesn't show camera view despite permissions. Arlier I could capture photos of directions with camera , now inspite of turning on permissions for camera n location all I get is a brown screen. Might have to delete this if not rectified

The compass works great, and the different layers are extremely helpful. Remember to calibrate often, Nice Job! I reference the SmartTools app frequently!
