Compass Navigator Pro 3 v5.0 (26 Jan 2026) introduces an advanced UI navigation system designed for adventure, RPG, and world exploration games. It features a compass bar, mini-map with fog of war, radar mode, screen indicators, beacon effects, world scan effect, and full-screen scrollable map. The update includes a new "Area of Interest" feature that improves performance when managing hundreds or thousands of Points of Interest (POIs). A customizable "Scan" effect with inspector controls and new APIs has been added, and all events now use UnityEvents, enabling easy wiring in the Compass inspector. Performance optimizations and overall enhancements have been implemented across the asset.
The system includes 14 ready-to-use compass bar designs, supporting curved bars, edge fade, automatic fade in/out, and customizable icons. It supports multiple world-mapping modes (frustum, screen, 180, 360-degree) and allows for procedural degree marks. The mini-map offers 12 ready-to-use styles (including fantasy and sci-fi variations), supports LUT textures for color grading, real-world or custom map textures, zooming, panning, and full-screen mode. It includes fog of war to hide unexplored areas, with optional auto-clearing as the player moves. The radar system provides accurate ring distances with customizable width, color, opacity, and scale, and includes optional scan animations.
Interactive features allow users to click or hover on mini-map POIs, enter full-screen map mode, and zoom/pan. The system supports revealing text, animated text effects, audio clips upon discovery (with five high-quality sounds), and two icon variations to differentiate explored and unexplored locations. Screen indicators display on overlay with optional titles and distances, featuring an anti-overlap system to prevent clutter. Additional features include a world scan effect that reveals POIs across the world, light beacons that project vertical beams to highlight POIs, and a heartbeat audio option triggered at variable intervals based on distance. The system supports multiple scenes, preserving visited POI states across scene changes.
Compass Navigator Pro 3 is compatible with Unity’s Built-in, URP, and HDRP pipelines, Unity 2022 and Unity 6 (including Render Graph), and uses Unity UI and Text Mesh Pro. It is fully documented with a demo scene and user manual, and is designed to be easy to extend and understand.
