Nearby Radar

A radar-style Android app built with Jetpack Compose that shows nearby cafes, restaurants, and supermarkets as glowing points on a rotating radar display — think Pip-Boy from Fallout, but for real-world exploration. The app pulls your live GPS location and compass heading, fetches nearby places from OpenStreetMap, and calculates each point's bearing and distance to plot it on a custom-drawn coordinate system, complete with a sweeping arm, pulsing markers, and a tap-to-inspect info card. Built as a way to get hands-on with Compose's Canvas API, it leans on real spherical geometry (bearing and distance calculations) rather than simple flat-plane math, and doubles as an experiment in navigating by direction and distance alone, instead of relying on Google Maps' turn-by-turn instructions.
