+# Compass Power Status Widget
+
+A simple widget that shows the on/off status of the compass.
+
+The compass draws around 1mA when on.  Whilst this is not a big draw
+on the battery it is still easy to have it switched on and not be
+aware.
+
+- Uses Bangle.isCompassOn(), requires firmware v2.08.167 or later
+- Shows in grey when the compass is off
+- Shows in amber when the compass is on
