GB Grid Ref Compass - Your GPS Grid Reference Finder App!
App will operate internationally, but the "Grid Reference" information is intended for use in Great Britain, mainland UK, using Ordnance Survey / OS Maps. App includes a graphical guide to the OS National Grid.
Ideally suited for use by walkers, hikers and outdoor sports enthusiasts. It is recommended that you should always carry a map and physical compass when on outdoor pursuits.
For best results, use in a flat position, not an upright position. Much like a traditional compass. Use in an open space, where possible, away from trees, buildings and sources of interference.
The screen can, optionally, be set to stay on, for continued on-screen display of Grid Reference information.

Pretty well perfect for me. A grid ref, and compass bearing, and a very fair price. I survey trees for the Ancient Tree Inventory, and this is a great help. Thank you!

Very good at what it does, but it could be even better. I mainly use this to check grid references for wildlife sighting records. If there was a function that copied the grid reference to my clipboard (or better still my notes' app) it would be perfect. As it is I email them to myself, but that isn't always possible if i don't have reception.

Great for grid references which is what I need. Direction of compass sometimes is 180 degrees out though I use a traditional magnetic compass in the hills.

Simple but effective Ideal for use with a map to confirm your position.

99p wasted, the compass doesn't work on my phone. No option to select number of figures displayed.
★★☆☆☆Brian Crossley· Apr 13, 2020
Grid ref works ok but the on-screen compass never points to north, always seems to be about 90deg out.
★☆☆☆☆A Google User· Mar 22, 2015
I found this app very useful. However, my android phone automatically updated recently, and now it just doesn't work at all.
