The National Institute of Statistics and Geography offers mobile application free distribution "Compass INEGI", which identifies the orientation relative to magnetic north, obtains the location coordinates on the cardinal reference sample some cities in Mexico, as well has an option to record the routes and send the resulting file for later analysis software Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and use, eg for field work, transport logistics, to monitor operations field involving the movement of people, goods and services.

Key Features:

- Indicates the magnetic north
- Get the coordinates of your location via GPS, the mobile network or even with spots nearby Wi-Fi
- About the cardinal displays the name of some cities in Mexico and the linear distance from the location
- You can record your path as you walk or drive transitas
- Facilitate sharing files tours

Caveat:

Before using the Compass INEGI in any activity that depends on the correct location of magnetic north (camping, ecotourism, etc.) verify that your device this location is correct considering a known reference.

Notes:

In some magnetic sensor devices tends to lock, to correct this situation must move the device in an "8".

The compass is dependent on the accuracy of the sensor device and magnetic interference fields generated by electronic equipment.

The accuracy of location coordinates depends on the location of the device sensors.
