About

Simple app to display current position information in a variety of different formats: * Lat/Long in Degrees * Lat/Long in Degrees/Mins * Lat/Long in Degrees/Mins/Secs * UTM (WGS84) * USNG (WGS84) * MGRS (WGS84) * QTH Locator (Maidenhead / IARU) * UK Grid (OSGB36) * Swiss Grid (LV95) * Swiss Grid (LV03) * SK-42 (Degrees) [BETA] * SK-42 (Orthogonal) [BETA] * LKS-92 Grid Color of position text indicates GPS signal strength. Color of battery text indicates battery life. UTM/USNG/MGRS positions are using NAD83/WGS84 datum, UK Grid (Ordnance Survey National Grid) positions is using OSGB36 datum. ***NOTE: GPS must be turned on first by going to Settings - Sensors - GPS Tested on simulator for all supported devices and on Forerunner 55 and vivoactive hardware.
