I see Rockets!

Great to find direction to look for far off rocket launches. We live 230 miles from Wallops Island Virginia launch facility. This app help make sure we are looking in the right direction to see viewable launches

Ham radio use

Summits On The Air (SOTA) is a ham radio activity involving portable operation from the top of high hills and mountains. I have found this app to be a really useful tool. I enter in the lat/long of the summit and then I use the compass bearing as I hike to the top. The line of sight distance isvery helpful too.
This is a wonderful app. The developer(s) have done a great job. The various target location entry methods are very comprehensive.
Take the time to read all of the instructions and if you are after a GPS bearing indicator for your iPhone, this is the app you need.

Like it

I have used this quite a bit and really like the functionality. I asked customer support if the heading given is true heading or magnetic- haven’t heard back, software could do either by taking the current location and applying the declination. True would be better. One other thing in the way of a suggestion, you get to select between DMS & lat/long. Most EMS/Fire services use degrees and decimal minutes, to be able to select that mode would save a conversion step at least for me. Happy with it will continue using, thanks.

Response from developer

Hi BB Bray, Apologies for not getting back to you earlier. Thank you for reviewing my app. After your review appeared I realised my internet hosting service had not set up my support email correctly. Following several failed attempts to have the situation resolved, I have now got a new hosting company and the support email address is now working as it should. I will research your question regarding true north and magnetic north and provide a setting to allow that to be changed in the application. I will also make changes to the read outs to help make the app more useful to you. The latest version 1.1, released yesterday, does not address the issues you have raised but hopefully the next version will. Please use the support email address again, so that I can communicate directly with you on the issues you have raised.
