Latest reviews of UTM Grid Ref Compass app for iPhone and iPad
I just wish the font were bigger.
Performs all functions great.
I am a field biologist who needed a way to record coordinates of burrows, animals, and other features. This app is just as accurate as my GPSr and allows me to email or text my geospatial data from the field. Mike Irvin, the creator of the app, was readily available via email and promptly answered a question I had. This is an excellent app for those who need to record coordinates on the fly.
Easy to use. Useable in degrees or UTM.
Nice and clear. Easy to use.
