most people will use for a grid reference. There are four variations, but I
particularly like the last that highlights the typical 6 figure grid reference – eg
55 H 3332806 E 5807329 N (see screenshot)
o Latitude/Longitude for both the map default and WGS84. Decimal and
conventional notation in 6 variations are provided for both.
o Easting / Northing – as per the map default (which confused me at Portland
as the Pseudo Mercator reference bears little relevance to UTM / MGA94).
o MGRS/USNG-WGS84

The Location tab also provides current speed and altitude and vertical and horizonal
accuracy. You can also simply enter a grid reference to locate it on the map.
Placemarks – can add either by locating a point on the map or by manual entering
the grid reference in whatever format you’ve chosen for the location above.
Tracking – you can switch on tracking and a line will be recorded of your progress
and you can see your speed, average speed, distance and duration.
Navigation – you can create a track and then follow it, however it seems you cannot
edit the track once you’ve created it. This tab also shows speed, distance, ETA to end
of track and time to next point on the track.
Draw and Measure provides a quick way to create a route or simply measure
distances or areas. Lines can be converted to areas as well including circles, hence
easy to show a radial distance from a point.
A compass is shown on all tabs and provides the current bearing in either magnetic
or true North.
This seems to be a fully functional navigation App, that is currently being actively developed
with new features added regularly, but is very stable – I’m yet to have it crash on me. I’ve
used it on both an iPad and Android phone and it is the same experience.
