About Grid Reference - British Isles

Nice little app. Leaves GPS turned on after exit (HTC Desire). Website isn't for the app, it's for the British Trust for Ornithology.

Terrible app. Says my current location is 300 miles away from where I am

Seems to drain the battery, even when opened by accident and then closed straight away.

F70%
by F####:

Irish grid shown as IN123123 I.e. to 100m. Pop up remains above other apps. No crashes, HTC desire

Force closes HTC desire.

by D####:

This app is great in that it shows you the longtitude and latitude attached to the OS Grid Reference of where you are AT THE MOMENT. What would be really useful for route planning and destination finding purposes would be the facility to input the OS Grid Reference of, for example, your destination, and this app then produced for you the longtitude and latitude of that destination. You could then punch these into your satnav device, and away you go!

If this app incorporated Google map's search, this could then get coordinates of the target destination which could then be pasted into another geo - navigation app.

T70%
by T####:

The app had everything I needed and seemed to be working fine at first but has now begun to crash regularly unfortunately. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2.

M70%
by M####:

Would be fine if it didn't keep crashing

L70%
by L####:

(Sony Xperia), this app seemed to have everything I needed and generally worked well and was accurate. However, when searching for a specific OS grid ref, it gave very bogus locations. Even when I entered the grid ref it said I was at, it showed a location 1000's of km away. Shame, it was nearly perfect,

by X####:

Hi the app itself is great, but my gps is now stuck in on mode even though I have exited the app. HTC desire. Can you help?

X70%
by X####:

Massively drains battery - even when you thought the app was closed!! Uninstalled. Oh - and real BAD FORM for a dev to rate their own app with a 5 star reply to a 1 star comment.

Y70%
by Y####:

Tiny app that works exactly as the dev describes. Only app I've found that'll show not just the OS grid reference of the phone's location, but also of any map point you choose.

B70%
by B####:

Absolutely fantastic, although GPS does get stuck on after closing the app. . . Although you can then manually switch off on phone settings or widget if you have one. Fix this and allow to switch between miles and km and I'd say its a five star :-)

Nice little app for OS GB grid refs. Gives dist to tapped point on screen, **** if it also gave Bearing.

Program wouldn't even start! Force Close error message. Galaxy SII user.

Not nice to have a rapid battery drain caused by this aop - especially when you need it most- ie hillwalking. Deleted.

Fab app, works 4 ireland too :)
