Irish Grid Ref Compass - Your GPS Grid Reference Finder App!
App will operate internationally, but the "Grid Reference" information is intended for use on the Island of Ireland, using Ordnance Survey Ireland or Ordnance Survey Northern Ireland (OSNI) OS Maps. App includes a graphical guide to the Irish 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.

For those days in fog, or storm, or whiteout when you need to know your precise location on a map, this app works. Worth 10 times the price for the peace of mind.

Use it daily I gave been using this daily for s long time 1st with IOS and more recently android. It's such s fantastic tool for me in my daily job as a Conservation Ranger. I've even been in contact with the app creator who kindly returned my emails instantly. For me its obe of the best most useful apps ever. I love the rmail text and tweet features so, so handy.
★★☆☆☆
The purpose of this app is to provide your grid position. All locations that I checked against known grid references and against an expensive garmin gps unit were not correct. Please refund my money!
★★☆☆☆
Inaccurate. Eastings about 50 m too low and nothings about 25 m too high relative to my Garmin. I ran it off a tablet without a mobile phone sim, so getting the location from mobile masts was not the issue.
