Compass

This sample inserts a live card to the left of the Glass clock that displays a compass. Tapping the live card presents a menu with two options:

  • Read aloud: read the compass's current heading using text-to-speech
  • Stop: remove the compass from the timeline

The compass also contains a small list of landmarks that will appear on the screen when the user is within 10 km of those locations. See the res/raw/landmarks.json file to add your own.
