About Land Nav Assistant
Land Nav Assistant accepts MGRS (Military Grid) or Latitude / Longitude coordinates and visually navigates you to each point.
This app was designed with Army, Marine, and other military personnel in mind. Use it to correct your Land Nav technique by analyzing your pace count and tendency to veer left and right.
Available Input: 8 digit MGRS, 10 digit MGRS, Lat/Lon decimal, Lat/Lon dms, and map input.
Angles: degrees or mils
Distance: meters/km or feet/miles
Speed: kph or mph
Use the simple arrow interface or map to direct you to your locations. Your distance, direction, speed, and bearing are shown as you navigate.
Long-tap anywhere on the map to get the coordinate for that location. Easily add locations via the Map interface.
Plan your course by ordering points, or use the course optimization tool which will help you calculate the shortest path possible!
Get distance/direction between two points by tapping the path drawn between them.
Satellite, Terrain, Road, and basic Topographic maps show you, your locations, and lets you enter in new ones.
Displays distance/direction from your currentl location to all points, or between any two points.
Download your Locations as a spreadsheet to save anywhere, or to share with anyone you choose.
Import a large set of locations via the web import utility, available at: https://www.gammonapplications.com/land-navigation-services/import
This app uses the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) and Latitude / Longitude.
Choose to display your locations as MGRS 10-digit, MGRS 8-digit, or LatLon Decimal.
D:M:S can be input in the format DD:MM:SS followed by the appropriate direction (NSWE). Default direction is N, W.
DO NOT use this application while learning Land Navigation. Land Navigation is a valuable skill, and should be mastered before using this application. Do not rely solely on this application for navigation, especially when lost. Always be aware of your surroundings.

Awesome app. I will give it a 5 again when you make the interface similar to the I phone. I don't see why for the same price they have a way better version of the app.

The landnav portion is great by putting in the grid coordinates however, it seems like the compass is wrong. How would i go about re calibrating it? If the compass worked, it would be everything i need in one device.

Worth the $2 spent. Just used it today and it was accurate within about 10 feet in most cases. Very well done and would recommend.

What this app does, it does well. It has a simple, intuitive system for inputting and naving grids. I have had no issues creating simple routes, and the clear interface makes naving on the go a breeze. / Cons are, it is too basic. It lacks offline map support, and the only topo map it uses is open street, which is not a detailed terrain map. It doesn't support manually dropping way points via the map, you cannot browse the map to find the grid at a particular point, and there is not a grid system overlay

Using this app for missions picking up casualties and all they give us is a MGRS location. This app made it way easier to navigate through all the many roads. Thanks for helping the Armed Forces continue mission. Hooah!
