Tomstrails GPS UTM

UTM

Always loved this app. It just functions simply and well. Use it mainly for measuring elevation while walking but also great as an emergency coordinate finder.

Toms Trails was possibly the best simple app I had on my phone. I used it a lot to tell people where I was (I spend half of my life travelling abroad). I wrote more than once to the developer and told him how fab the app was. Then one day it stopped working (after an iOS update). I had to download the new app (GPS UTM) and to put it bluntly I am more than disappointed: :( I had to pay to use the share option; :( Gone are the degrees and decimal minutes in the position format; :( Gone is the ability to edit your message (which allowed me to format the message to a customised message for my family and friends and to add North and South for those who don’t know that stuff); I don’t know what’s gone wrong at Toms Trails but I can’t recommend this app (like I used to) until the best features are reinstated.

France uses a peculiar grid reference system called UTM. If you ever need to call in mountain rescue, you need to know your UTM grid ref - they won’t help you with lat/long! So this app is a life saver if you spend time in the mountains.

Poor app, seldom right,

So far so good

With a map perfect.

Just downloaded. Simple and elegant!

Just loved the app. I’ve used in some hiking trails and it worked perfect! Besides because it’s very simple it did not consume much of my phone battery.
