* Allows entry of parameters for a custom datum (e.g. ED50, SAD69, OSGB36, GDA2020 etc), as well as supporting affine parameters for local grid systems.
* Can display your location a normal grid ref, an MGRS grid ref (WGS84 datum only), or as a UK Ordinance Survey (OS) grid ref.
* Can download offline map tiles for use where there is no cellular coverage.
* Optional walk timer.
* Email your current waypoints and tracklogs as a KML file.

Great GPS app for position, speed, logging ect
This is a great app lets you view and log your position and speed in multiple Coordinate systems i.e. Lat&Long or a gridded Northing and Easting. It even supports custom CRS's which is useful if your maps or other data are in an obscure coordinate system. Would be great if you could export waypoints via emails, but currently just have to download via iTunes.
Just Great!
Powerful and intuitive gps app that does everything I want when the expensive Garmin is left at home. Prompt, effective, & congenial support from the developer as well.
Wonderful App
There are lots of GPS Apps. This one proved the most useful for capturing tracks and waypoints and then sharing this information with other users. Excellent support.
Great for bushwalking
Very easy to use. Great to have UTM and eastings/northings for use with a topographic map. Trying to see if I can avoid carrying a phone and a dedicated separate GPS. Only recommend intermittent use to avoid drain on battery.
Great little app
This is great, turns your phone into a simple, fast and light-weight GPS. There are tons of features, without it being a bloatly mess. Been using for a while and have found it super useful on a number of occaisions! The import KML feature is great. Just be careful with your battery life. Also, the developer is very polite and receptive to feedback.
Great App
Great app thanks
Works really well
A good replacement for my old eTrex.
Neat app for walkers
Had fun tracking our progress and the kids got a good lesson in basic navigation. Cheaper than a GPS!
Very 'Handy' app
Excellent App! I use this app almost daily when undertaking field survey work. Much more convenient to carry my phone than an extra GPS and compass. The support by the developer for this app is top rate. I emailed him a couple of questions and received a helpful and friendly response almost immediately. Maybe the ability to email kml files, calculate distance and area or import .shp files would make a great app even better.
