8 of 25I have yet to see it list my altitude, which was a primary reason I bought it, no matter how long I wait. GPS is fast working and accurate...it nailed my house, but I just can't get it to output my elevation.
Is the only paid app I've bought so far an was worth it. Simple is the key! Great for large jobsite.
I needed an app to ping out my location during a recent 100+ mile run. I used this app to email my position to my team as well as a live map. It was easy to use and worked flawlessly even when I was very tired. This app, my iPhone (with it's built in maps), an external battery and a water-tight baggy were the only navigational/GPS equipment that I used. I intend to use this app to ping out my location on my next 200 mile run. Well done Mr. Hoffman!
Good, light-weight application, works well. Only nit is that in Grid 10S (SF/Bay Area) it would be good if the application would pre-pend a "0" before some of the the easterling coordinates. Minor bug but otherwise does the job I need it to do, thanks.
I like this app and the upsates that taken place. Great improvement. I woyld ask one thing can you please add Mils for heading. Not everyone uses degrees. Thanks
simple interface, easy to use.
I was a little hesitant to try this considering the iPhone GPS, but it's been giving me accurate MGRS coords to eight digits all the time and ten digits about 75% of the time. For reference, I'm getting parallel results from a Rhino 120.
Sort of lacking I'd I cannot use without a wireless connection,
