Always Know Which Way Is Home With iSignpost

Traveling around the world (or the country) can be great - and splitting your life between a variety of locations is a opportunity afforded many businessmen and college students alike. Yet, as great as this can be, there are times when a lump rises to one's throat when thoughts of home enter the mind. And, there are always moments when you wonder exactly where home is.
Well, a simple and free application which has recently hit the App Store can do this for you. It's called iSignpost, and it's a rather good attempt at an iCure for homesickness.
Simply open up the app, and let it point towards wherever you call "home". On an iPhone 4, 3GS, or iPad, the application will quickly utilize the device's built-in magnetometer and point in the right direction.
Obviously, this app isn't going to revolutionize the way you use your iDevice. Like I said, it's simple - and therefore, free. It's fun to play with - especially if you're away from home a lot, and often find yourself sitting in a dark room listening to the well known Michael Bublé song.
Give it a try, it's free, and available in the App Store now.
