I work in field artillery for the Army. This app is super helpful when you don’t have a map on you and degraded from digital.
I wish that this app was compatible with iWatch. It doesn’t need to be complex on the watch. As long as the app can simply give my grid location with altitude. Perhaps, it could allow me to mark my location for quick hip shoots or on-calls.
Other than that, this app is definitely beneficial for our field of work and use of maps.
I have been an army field artillery (HiMARS) For 18 years when you’re constantly moving this is your best friend especially with the satellite imaging and ability to mark points anywhere without having to download Maps and all that this is definitely well worth the money
Love this app! I use it from planning to execution. I just wish the overlays had more of an actual military feel. It needs to have the ability to add lines and objects such as enemy icons, and friendly icons. Other than the lack of graphics, it’s an amazing app for getting from point A to B.
It also needs the ability to download maps so you can use it offline.
Thanks
This app is amazing. I use it for almost everything i do. I use for doing reconnaissance work such as taking a screen shot and then drawing in the sea wire, Vic, guard positions. I also use it for almost all of my route planning.
The only improvement i would like to see is if i could actually draw on the terrain in app then having to use another app to do it. Other than that the maps are always up to day and have absolute precision on grids. The arrow can be shaky at time. But that’s why you always use a compass. Other than that highly recommended this app and will continue to use it.

Been a loyal customer for more than 5 years and I’ve been selling it ever since. The disclaimer you have to acknowledge when starting the app aside; I can’t count the number of times I’ve used this app to keep myself or others out of harms way. Too easy to use- I’d like to see this app get officially approved by the military.
Until I joined the military I didn’t need anything like this but wow this has made my life easier. Quick grids when needed, reference points for locations, easy sharing to any other app; this app has it all. But now I use it to go off the trail exploring as well, and it’s effortless.
Great for what it does: point overlays, sharing with others, navigation, changing between units (datum, distance, etc.), coverage across continents
Make it better: enable shapes or graphics in overlays, navigate to point after selection from map screen rather than having to go through the overlay screen, update imagery periodically
I’m in the army and work as a Forward Observer, 80% of my job has to do with accurate grids, distances, altitudes, or anything that deals with location accuracy! This app has hands down worked better than any equipment the army has given me. I use it every time I go on deployment or just practicing in the field! Couldn’t ask for a better app lol ITS PERFECT THE WAY IT IS PLEASE DONT UPDATE IT!!!! Lol
It’s a good app and has a lot of features. I love being able to customize the navigation screen especially when working with two gps formats simultaneously. Also, location sharing via text is outstanding and relays all the necessary information.
I don’t feel the UI is very user friendly or intuitive. For example, I am unable to enter coordinates from the map screen. I can place coordinates at my current location and at the crosshairs on the map, but I can’t simply enter coordinates from the map screen. I have to back out to another screen completely. And to copy coordinates from a website and paste into the app is terribly awkward.
In fact, having to enter coordinates quickly is very difficult because of how buried in the UI that feature is. If you’re geocaching and have all day to fiddle with the app to enter coordinates, then you won’t have any problems. If you have to quickly plug in coordinates from your hunting party, a mayday or dispatcher, use another app or gps.
Also, downloadable maps for app use independent of cell service would be helpful in poor coverage areas. Just a thought.
I love this app and I use it all the time. Definitely money well spent. It’s the most helpful and efficient land nav app I’ve ever used. Simply incredible. My suggestion for the creators is:
You should come out with an Apple Watch app to accompany your main app. Even if it was something as simply and just seeing your current grid or checking your azimuth arrow while using the navigation mode. I think that would be awesome!
