User reviews

Does exactly what it says.

I was confused by the longitude, latitude being displayed as four digits and a decimal place. So I contacted the developer and learned that is the official method of displaying hoursMinutes in the GPS, Boeing and Airbus systems.
So, I confirmed that and am happy with the information provided.
I suppose the developer might allow a user to tap the coordinates to toggle between formats, and copy the results. That would be perfect.
