Goal

Use the geolocation API here to get the phone's location, and the compass orientation from here or magnetometer reading from here

Benefits

Cross platform: relies on the browser, not an Android app
No need for an internet connection, more control instead of having to use an app
This will be useful to have as a fallback to a proper GPS module

Risks

Need to determine how responsive the compass is
Need to ensure the web app runs while the screen is off
