    Not really. Theoretically you can use Google Maps as a compass, but otherwise no. Per the article:

    Shockingly, Google is yet to build its own native compass or level tool app for Android. Most third-party phone makers have taken matters into their own hands, but modern Pixel phones still don't provide a user-facing app for accessing coordinates, altitude, magnetism, and other useful metrics. Thankfully, Compass has you covered.
