Description
It could be really nice to be able to add an hardware compass (IMU), to have a more accurate on device display Compass/Circle.
For example a Seed Grove - IMU 9DOF . It don't have many axis, but if only needed for the compass, it is relatively cheap.
Right now, it is easier to glue a mechanical compass to the device and choose to always point Nord, if you want to find the other device without using a Smartphone.
An IMU could also be useful for having a standby mode more reactive than the GPS to changes, and perhaps send notification if the device is moved.
