GlobeScope

Developer's DescriptionBy BronwarePoint your mobile device towards the earth to see what lies on the other side.Point your mobile device towards the earth to see what lies on the other side.Because we're looking at the surface of the planet from below, the world looks different than what we're used to on a map. Everything basically looks mirrored.The capital cities of most countries (if not all) are visible so you will know what country you are looking at. For some large countries extra cities are included.Turning on Location is recommended, but not required. You can set a location manually as explained further below.A Gyroscope is highly recommended, but not always required.If a Gyroscope not available, then having both an Accelerometer and Compass is highly recommended.If only an Accelerometer is available, keep the top of your device pointing North while looking around.If not even an Accelerometer is available, the device will switch to "Swipe Only" mode.Through "Options" it's possible to manually switch between the different view modes, if the App detected the proper sensors.The status of your Gyroscope, Compass and Accelerometer are made visible in the App and updated every 5-10 seconds. If the accuracy of a sensor is "low", "medium" or "unreliable", you may need to calibrate it, while "unknown" and "unreliable" can also mean that the sensor does not exist on your device.The directional value provided by your Compass is visible at the top left of the screen and comes directly from your device. The app uses this value in Accelerometer+Compass mode and assumes it's correct. 180 means South and both 0 and 360 mean North.It's possible to move your location manually. In the "Options" menu, select the option "Change Location" and while aiming where you want to go select "Target Location" or "City Location" to move there.There is also an option to move to the "Center of the Earth". This is the default starting location if your Device Location is not available to the App.The option "Device Location" is to request the Device Location from your device. If successful, it will move to that location.The GPS Location of where you are aiming is visible at the top of the screen, and the GPS Location of your current location is visible at the bottom of the screen.You can also Zoom In or Out by holding down the + or - button or by swiping.
