Description
The perfect companion for your next outdoor adventure. Seek, find, record and return home with Handy GPS.

This app requires payment of an annual subscription to be fully functional. If this is not paid it will still run, but with limited functionality.

This app is a powerful navigation tool designed for outdoors sports like hiking, bushwalking, tramping, mountain biking, kayaking, boating, horse trail riding, geocaching. Its also useful for surveying, mining, archaeology, and forestry applications. Its simple to use and works even in the remotest back country since it doesn't require network connectivity. It allows you to work in UTM or lat/lon coordinates so you can even use it with your paper maps.

NOTE: Allow the app to always use GPS, and turn off battery optimisation for the app to reliably record tracklogs when the phone screen is off.

BASE FEATURES:
* Shows your current coordinates, altitude, speed, direction of travel, and distance travelled in metric, imperial/US, or nautical units.
* Can store your current location as a waypoint, and record a track log to show where you've been on a map.
* Data can be imported from and exported to KML and GPX files.
* Allows manual entry of waypoints in UTM, MGRS and lat/lon coords.
* Can guide you to a waypoint using the "Goto" screen, and optionally sound an alert when when you're getting close.
* Has a compass page which works on devices with magnetic field sensors.
* Automatically computes the local geoid offset to improve altitude accuracy
* Supports the world-wide WGS84 datum along with the common Australian datums and map grids (AGD66, AGD84, AMG, GDA94, and MGA). You can also use WGS84 for NAD83 maps in the US.
* Shows GPS satellite locations and signal strengths graphically.
* Can display simple or MGRS grid references.
* Can compute waypoint-to-waypoint distance and direction.
* Includes an optional timer line to record walk duration and compute your average speed.
* Thoroughly tested by the developer on many off-track walks

* No ads
* Unlimited number of waypoints and track log points.
* Email or SMS your location to a friend as a clickable map link.
* Email your waypoints and tracklogs as KML or GPX file.

* UK grid refs with two letter prefixes can be shown if OSGB datum selected.
* Elevation profile.
* GPS averaging mode.
* Take photos and record voice memos, geo-located with KML files for easy viewing on a PC.

* Create waypoint by triangulation, or projecting using an entered distance and bearing.

Comments on Handy GPS (subscription) for Android

★★★★☆ Rod Hall · Jan 11, 2020
The symbol function doesn't work, so I can't edit the symbol. I need to have different colors for the waypoints I save for work. All the waypoints I record have the same symbol. Should I uninstall and install again?
★★★★★ Abdifetah Sheikmohamed · Jun 22, 2024
It's a very good app, but as a surveyor, I would recommend you to include many other local positioning datum Coz instead of editing costume datum, it is better to have already.
★★★★★ Hadi 444 · Mar 26, 2025
Handy gps is very helpful for surveyor I’m very happy from handy application
