Any proper app should list the direction to the destination. I don't know if this one can. Every other app I've used does, though, and the direction is pretty consistent, as long as there is a good satellite lock. The reason the arrow spins is because there is no way for the app to know which direction you're facing, even though the direction to the cache stays basically the same even though the GPS thinks you moved a few feet one way or the other. You just read the direction and use your compass to move that way, ignoring the spinning arrow. I don't even use the arrow, I display the bearing to the cache and my heading, and try to more or less match the two, depending on the terrain and obstacles. I only use the compass occasionally, to figure out a course to a landmark I can see in the right direction.
