GPS Metrics App
· v2.1.4
About
GPS Metrics shows you, at a glance, your current direction, track (movement heading), speed, g-force, and Coordinates.
All measures are accessed from the same screen.
The units of altitude, coordinates, and speed can be chosen.
There is a quick unit charger, as well as the option to show the UTC time instead of the local time. Degrees and compass direction can be swapped out for mils instead.
These options are configurable from inside of the app using the menu button (some watches menu's are accessed by holding the the up button).
- The elevation options are: meters (m), feet (ft), and miles (mi).
- The coord options are: degree (DEG), degree minutes (DEG MIN), degree minutes seconds (DEG MIN SEC), and military grid reference system(MGRS)
- The speed options are: meters per second (m/s), kilometers per hour (km/h), miles per hour (mph), knots (knots), and mach number (mach).
- The select button functions as a unit changer. It can switch through all of the units of a specific field (altitude, coords, or speed).
- The "g force" only takes into account acceleration in the direction of your heading. The actual g force you might be experiencing might be higher.
