About GB Grid Ref Compass
Never be lost again! Locate your current GB Grid Reference Map location anywhere in Great Britain.
Your current Compass Bearing / Heading Direction will also be shown, along with Latitude and Longitude values in both OSGB36 and WGS84 formats.
The Accuracy of Readings, as indicated by your device, will also be shown.
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.

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.

Thank you for recently updating the app. It would be great if the app could text your position at predetermined intervals automatically. This would be really useful when hiking.

A very useful app that is a must for any outdoor enthusiasts. In my opinion this is the best Grid Ref finder that I've come across. Everything about this little app is perfect. It simple yet effective and well thought through. (10/10) Technical support is also excellent. (10/10)

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 dont have reception.
