## What is GPS Status & Satellite Sky?

Read your exact position in every format at once — decimal degrees, DMS, DDM, UTM and MGRS — and copy any of them with one tap.

YOUR POSITION, EVERY FORMAT
• Five coordinate formats shown together on the first screen
• Tap a row to copy that exact string for a map, a message or a form
• Horizontal accuracy and vertical accuracy, shown separately
• Altitude above sea level, ground speed and course over ground
• Metric, imperial (feet, mph) or nautical (feet, knots, nautical miles)
When the phone has no valid altitude or you are standing still, the app shows a dash instead of a made-up 0 m or 0°.

SAVE AND FIND PLACES
• Save here: store the current fix under a name you choose
• Average here: collect up to 30 fixes over 30 seconds and save the mean, with an estimated uncertainty that never claims to be better than the fixes it came from
• Rename or delete saved places at any time
• Go to a saved place: distance, bearing and ETA, with an Arrived badge within 100 m. The arrow follows your GPS direction of travel, so it works while you are moving — it is not a magnetic compass
• Export all saved places as CSV or GPX

PREDICTED SATELLITE SKY
A polar sky chart shows where the GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, NavIC and SBAS satellites are above you right now, calculated with the standard SGP4 model from public orbital data (CelesTrak) for your position and time. The data refreshes weekly, a bundled copy works offline, and the date of the orbital data is shown under the chart.
This is a prediction and the app labels it that way. iOS does not give apps per-satellite data, so the chart does not show which satellites your iPhone is receiving or using. A satellite list sorts everything by elevation.

LOCK SCREEN
While the app is open, a Live Activity shows accuracy, altitude, speed and course on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. The app does not track location in the background, so the card marks itself PAUSED instead of leaving an old reading looking current.

GOOD FOR
Hikers and paddlers checking a fix before relying on it · search and rescue, scouts and land navigation with MGRS or UTM · geocaching · drone and paragliding pilots · anyone who needs to send an exact position

Readings come from your phone's own location services. Accuracy depends on the device and on a clear view of the sky.

Available in 30 languages.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.27 — 2026-10-17

• “Menu” now includes “Get a better GPS fix” to open “Guide”.
• The guide clarifies that predicted visibility does not prove reception or a better fix. A menu explainer describes why the sky chart is a prediction.
• The “Coordinates copied” and “Location saved” confirmations now stay until you close them.

### 1.1.25 — 2026-09-27

The first screen now shows your position in decimal, DMS, DDM, UTM and MGRS at once — tap any row to copy it. Save a place with a name or average 30 seconds of fixes, then rename it later. Switch to feet/mph or nautical units, see vertical accuracy, and a dash replaces made-up 0 m altitude or 0° course. The predicted sky now adds GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS and NavIC.

### 1.1.24 — 2026-09-03

Sky plot labeled as a predicted GPS almanac. Waypoints with GPS course.

### 1.1.23 — 2026-09-01

Thanks for using our app! This update brings behind-the-scenes performance and stability improvements for a smoother, more reliable experience. Your support means the world to us.

### 1.1.22 — 2026-08-12

The Lock Screen card no longer lies to you.

It could only ever update while the app was open, because this app does not track your location in the background. So the moment you locked the phone — the moment the card actually became visible — it froze on the last reading and sat there looking current, sometimes for hours. It now marks itself PAUSED, with the time of the last fix, so a stale number is never mistaken for a live one. Reopen the app and it resumes.

Also in this update:
• The full-screen ad that appeared the instant your position locked on is gone. Acquiring a fix is not something you asked for, and an ad landing on that moment read as an ad for opening the app. It now appears when you copy your coordinates — a result you actually wanted.
• The description no longer says the app tracks GLONASS and Galileo satellites in real time. On iPhone it cannot: iOS gives apps no per-satellite data at all — no live signal strengths, no which-satellite-is-in-use, and nothing outside GPS. The sky map shows where the GPS constellation genuinely is, computed from the public almanac for your position and time, and is labelled as a prediction. That part was always honest on screen; now the store page matches it.
