Magnetic interference level indicator
sort of like the metal detector app in the market but perhaps more sensitive and a number value for the interference level. It should be an option from the menu inside the app. It will aid not only in choosing a mounting location for a device but also for scope location choice. it will give users a good idea of the amount of magnetic interference in a chosen observing location.

Need to now implement a “meter” as suggested in the idea.

Such as aligning a radio antenna to East (as suggested by Adrian on email).
