## What is CoordCalc?

A coordinate utility app that calculates the distance and initial/final bearings between two points on Earth specified either manually by latitude and longitude or automatically using the built-in map.  It can also calculate a final position given an initial position, distance, and bearing.

The final distance can be calculated in miles, kilometers, nautical miles, yards, meters, or feet.  Coordinates can be specified in and converted to and from decimal degrees, decimal minutes or decimal seconds.  Bearing is returned in degrees true.  Uses WGS84 for improved great circle distance calculation accuracy. 

NOTES:
Coordinate messages can only be sent to other CoordCalc users and are available only within the app.

Additional Features:
-Can use internal GPS to find the lat/lon coordinates of your current location
-Can use and drag the points around on the built-in map and get distance/bearing updates continuously.
-Shows starting and ending positions on a map
-Saves the previous set of starting and ending positions
-Maps can display satellite imagery, and labeled roads, highways, cities, oceans, etc.
-Can send coordinate messages with short notes to other CoordCalc users.
- Built-in HD version for iPad

Example use cases:
-Navigation tool for aircraft, boats, etc.
-Measure walking distance
-Finding your exact position in order to mark points of interest/landmarks or meeting places.
-Visualize and edit starting and ending locations using the map feature.
-Calculate the size of various landmarks if they are visible via satellite.
-Save the position of your parked car
-Convert coordinates between different formats

iOS 4.0 Tested

A video demo of how to move the pins is located here:
http://www.justintimeapps.com/ts.html

This pin jumping issue has been fixed in iOS 4.0, but for iOS 3.0 users, the difficulty of this depends alot on your screen protector.  If the protector has a rough surface and causes your finger to jump around, the pin will be dropped often.  You will get a better response if you move your finger slowly.  Although, you should still be able to move a pin from the top to the bottom of the screen within 2 seconds without losing track.  In iOS 4.0, this is not an issue.

## Key features

- Calculate distance and bearing between two points
- Determine final position from initial point, distance, and bearing
- Manual coordinate input or map-based selection
- Supports multiple distance units (miles, km, nautical miles, etc.)
- Converts between decimal degrees, minutes, and seconds
- Uses GPS for current location
- Saves previous positions

### 1/5 — DOESN’T WORK

*2018-06-16, version 2.4*

The good ratings must have been made by friends of developer.

### 1/5 — Save your money

*2017-11-23, version 2.4*

I was looking for an app that would give me distance and bearing “to” a point.  This isn’t it.

### 1/5 — Moronic user interface

*2016-07-17, version 2.2*

Typical problems with engineer-designed UI. Not that engineers always are so tone deaf to users. Example:  enter a long and lat (two very long numbers) and make a typo: the app tells you (with an exclamation point) that one of the the numbers (which one?) is "not a number" and then deletes both. Can anyone out there suggest a more user-friendly way of handling such an exception??

### 1/5 — NOT FOR IPAD

*2015-12-26, version 2.2*

Although its registered for Ipad also it's only for I Phones. I think the worst part about it is I couldn't get a refund. Won't be buying anymore apps from this vendor for sure.

### 1/5 — Not Backward Compatible

*2015-02-28, version 2.2*

How can you sell an App that only works until Apple upgrades the OS.  It should be backward compatible and users of older iPhones and older OS should still be able to use it.  If you’re not going to keep it working for older phones you should refund the purchases.

### 5/5 — Thanx for the update

*2014-11-11, version 2.0*

Thanx for the update

### 2/5 — mr

*2014-11-03, version 1.12*

would be very useful for geocaching, purchased based upon reviews but freezes up after one entry.

### 5/5 — Coordcalc

*2012-01-18, version 1.12*

This app is excellent.  Does what I expected. The hybrid mode allows me to zoom in on small features and pinpoint location accurately.  The pushpins are sometimes a little hard to move, but still it is a very useful app, including ability to calculate bearing and distance.

### 4/5 — Likeit

*2011-12-23, version 1.12*

So far does exactly what it says it will do, especially if u know the coord's. I like it.

### 3/5 — Can't enter WGS coordinates

*2011-04-25, version 1.12*

Misleading - uses WGS84, but won't let you enter or analyze those coordinates. Other than that, does a great job, especially for the price.
