I am developing an application in which I am using Compas and GPS for iPhone Platform and after that I will make this for Android also in Unity.

So I am sniffing Compas related question and I found an Answer that there is a Limit for Querying Google Api. I am a bit scared because I want to query each second to update user location and compas information of device.

Does anyone know what is the maximum limit of Query? What is a better approach to do this task?

If you are referring to the Google Elevation API, then yes, there is a limit. Basically, ALL Google API's have Usage Limits. From the Elevation API webpage:

Usage Limits

Use of the Google Elevation API is subject to a limit of 2,500 requests per day (Maps API for Business users may send up to 100,000 requests per day). In each given request you may query the elevation of up to 512 locations, but you may not exceed 25,000 total locations per day (1,000,000 for Maps API for Business users). This limit is enforced to prevent abuse and/or repurposing of the Elevation API, and this limit may be changed in the future without notice. Additionally, we enforce a request rate limit to prevent abuse of the service. If you exceed the 24-hour limit or otherwise abuse the service, the Elevation API may stop working for you temporarily. If you continue to exceed this limit, your access to the Elevation API may be blocked.

If you need more requests, you may have to use Maps API for Business.
