### 3/5 — Nice but limited

*2026-08-11, version 4.0.2*

The app does what it says, but unfortunately, it does not support different coordinate systems. It would be handy if this could be selected in the settings. The hddd°mm.mmmm coordinate system is, however, very popular and widely used.
I like to see added in settings if possible:
1- degrees and decimal minutes 
ex.:
N 43° 19.0950′
E 011° 19.8240′
Noted as hddd°mm.mmmm′

2- decimal degrees 
ex.:
 N 43.31825° E 11.33040°
Noted as DD.ddddd°

It would make the app more versatile and more useful. 

Thank you.


Thank you very much for the update 👍
Another nice feature would be, if you tap somewhere in the map view you see the coordinates of that place…☺️

### 2/5 — It does work, but ...

*2018-06-19*

Not while on an aircraft, not reliably. I am at a loss to explain why.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. One suggestion is to open it before going to airplane mode, otherwise the GPS is taking too much time to sync. If that does not work let me know.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2016-05-02*

The worst app I have ever used. Doesn't work. Can't read the units in settings. A video ad takes control of the program.

### 1/5 — Не понравилось

*2015-11-17*

Идея очень правильная. Небольшое приложение для простых задач навигации.

Приложение постоянно вылетает. Под iphone 6 plus не адаптировано.

### 1/5 — Very poor application

*2015-06-03*

In programming terms this is a student app. The way it handles conditions and errors says it all. Don't install as it don't do what is described.

### 1/5 — GPS Locator

*2015-02-28, version 3.0.5*

Fail !

Upgraded app does not even open at
all. Very disappointed .

It says a lot about testing and quality control before being released .

### 1/5 — Fail

*2015-01-23, version 3.0.5*

I have now had for a day and I have removed it. It may be an ok GPS locator however the adds launch when you don't select it and it has shutdown many times. This is not a serious app and it is just a vehicle to advertise. Stay away

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2015-01-22, version 3.0.5*

This app, on for free as a promotion to raise its profile, creates a new standard for annoying ads. Have a look if you want but I recommend that you not bother with it. Next?

### 1/5 — Free but too many ads: don't bother

*2015-01-22*

Too many ads. Not worth it, even free.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2014-12-25, version 3.0.4*

Displays ads, crashes if you try to do anything with it. Delete.

### 1/5 — ML

*2014-09-30, version 3.0.2*

Trying to change settings just keeps crashing app

### 1/5 — Not reliable

*2014-06-30, version 3.0.1*

Great idea. A simple app to deliver GPS info. Unfortunately, does not work. Sm in Midwest USA.... Coordinates provided were in The Phillipines....
