## GB Grid Ref Compass Description
Find out your current location on a GB Map, whilst in Great Britain.

This app will give you your GB Grid Ref (Ordnance Survey / OS Grid Reference), along with a Compass Bearing and Latitude and Longitude values in both OSGB36 and WGS84 formats.

The accuracy of the Device GPS signal will also be shown.

Includes a handy graphical guide to the "National Grid" system.

Whilst the app will work worldwide, the values given will only be of use within the United Kingdom.

Ideal for use on walks. Always carry a map and physical compass in addition to your iPhone.

For the best accuracy, use in an open space, away from trees or hill edges.

Like a traditional compass, use with the phone in a flat position, not upright.

When continued usage is required, you can set the iPhone Screen to stay on indefinitely, from the Settings tab.

Send or Share your location information in a Text Message (or iMessage), Email or Tweet*

This app requires Location Services to be enabled in your iPhone, and you must grant permission to the app to use these.

Compatible with iPhone. Not compatible with iPod Touch, or (non-cellular) iPads, due to the lack of GPS and Compass hardware. 

* - Internet Connection, and correctly configured Text Message (or iMessage), Email and / or Twitter settings, required to fulfil.

## GB Grid Ref Compass Reviews in Vereinigtes Königreich

### ***** "GB Compass"
Genius!
-- Mick Martian, 2024-06-08

### ***** "Brilliant little app!"
Superb for passing on your position to anyone if you get lost or you are in trouble whilst out in the country.
-- Chappers431, 2023-07-20

### ***** "Super Os conversation app"
I was looking for a converter and this one is super.
-- watso79, 2023-02-27

### ***** "Very Useful Tool"
If your car breaks down in a no man’s, this the application you need to find out what your current position is!
-- PBAKJP, 2022-06-18

### **--- "Os compass"
Does not work properly. Inconsistent and inaccurate most of the time  , presently N is pointing
East!
-- avliotes, 2021-07-28

### ***** "Grid compass"
Almost instant help from the developer if you have any query, can’t fault app or service.
-- mo j s, 2021-05-22

### ***** "Excellent"
Does just what you need. OS grid refs to 10 digits and estimates of accuracy.
-- Andrew Skinner, 2020-10-31

### ***** "Does the job well"
An app that does one job and does it well, with a uncluttered screen layout. I use it when taking photos when doing landscape surveying as I need to record both the coordinates and the direction the camera was facing. The only improvement I can think of would be the ability to copy the grid ref data on the home screen to allow it to be pasted into a spreadsheet app
-- Alaninstanbury, 2020-08-21

### ****- "Lftshfihihtzgh ghost"
Gfffggy
-- ggggghjdhxy, 2020-08-05

### ***** "Very good"
When I had to change handset & system provider the App I just had to track down for my new phone was GB Grid Ref - reliable, simple and one of only a handful that give compass, lay/long & 12 fig grid ref besides advising accuracy. The only app for me!
-- minthetree, 2019-11-02

### ****- "GB Grid"
Works well but I would like the bold grid ref characters to be bigger - like the direction digits.
-- @cr10Ian, 2019-08-07

### ***** "ExceptionalApp"
Knowing precisely where you are, which direction is North, all of great importance to the intrepid explorer, cyclist, rambler or, simply, the curious. 

This App answers all the various condrums of navigation. 

It is exemplary
-- Trogdalyte, 2019-07-16

### ***** "great app"
easy reference compass grid reference all in one on your phone excellent recomend
-- colin7864, 2019-07-04

### ****- "Simple and effective"
I’ve been looking for a simple app, to provide me with 10 figure grid references, for over a year. My search is over! Thank you.
-- paulatmill, 2019-04-21

### ***** "Brilliant App"
Always located me in the field. Wouldn’t be without it
-- Pyrausta, 2019-03-13

### ***** "Respond1963"
Very pleased with the app.
-- respond1963, 2019-03-09

### ***** "Very useful."
I use this app on the odd occasion to verify my map and compass navigation position. Highly recommend this app to anyone who enjoys the outdoors life.
-- JohnBraHun, 2019-02-20

### ***** "Excellent grid reference finder UK/IE"
I used to make quite a bit of use of another grid reference finder (reporting road defects, marking wildlife sites, recording filming areas etc). I particularly like the facility to look up the coverage of an  iOS grid square without leaving the app and going on the Internet.
This app is better. It has more sharing options than the previous one (maybe could add FB Messenger?). One feature this app lacks is the ability to convert an OS grid ref (other than your present position) to lat/long. If it would offer this in OSGB / WGS, then it would be great. Addition of maps would be perfect; though I expect licensing issues may be prohibitive for the developer. 
Summary recommended.
-- Dai_Dant, 2018-11-26

### ***** "No need for GPS"
If you can read an ordnance survey map then, with this app you can place yourself within a few feet - no need for a connection.
Used over the western lakes and Peak District, never failed
Used again in Scottish Highlands aug2018.
Don’t worry about no signal- app worked to within 10metres. Just make sure you know how to use the OS map properly.
-- BillydotB, 2018-09-07

### *---- "Rubbish"
Does what it wants.. cannot relie on it at all
-- nicrsyson, 2018-07-30
