Is anyone aware of a GPS Compass application for the N9?

If you are not sure what I mean by GPS Compass basically it is a compass which uses GPS to allow you to navigate to a set of GPS coordinates.

So you can enter some GPS coordinates and follow the compass needle until you reach the destination.

They look something like this http://www.gps-practice-and-fun.com/...talCompass.png

So the black arrow at the top would be pointing to the GPS coordinates and the red arrow is your direction of travel.
When you align the black and red arrow you travel in the direction for the specified distance and you arrive at the point you want to arrive.

Thanks

I think this does everything you're asking except for the manual input of coordinates. Instead you must be at the location to "tag" it's coordinates. After that, the compass/radar view will bring you back to that point.

I did see that one however I need to be able to put the coordinates in as I need to be able to get to a point where I have not been before.

Thanks for that, it is a little more advanced than I need however it will do the job
If it did the GPS coordinates in decimal it would be perfect
