## What is MGRS GPS?

MGRS GPS turns your iPhone into a fast, glanceable military grid reference readout — built for soldiers, search-and-rescue teams, hunters, hikers, orienteers, and field researchers who think in grids and often work without a signal.

Your position is shown as a large, high-contrast MGRS grid you can read at arm's length and copy with one tap. Mark waypoints, organize them into color-coded overlays, navigate with a clear bearing-and-distance display, record breadcrumb tracks, and keep working when the cell signal drops.

POSITION, ANY FORMAT
• MGRS / USNG military grid reference
• UTM / UPS
• Latitude / Longitude (decimal, DDM, DMS)
• OSGB British National Grid
• Show up to three formats at once
• Each extra coordinate format can now be shown in its own datum
• Coordinate engine validated against GeographicLib conventions

ONE-TAP SHARING
• Tap any readout to copy your grid instantly
• Share via the system share sheet
• Send a waypoint as a QR code
• AirDrop waypoints between devices

WAYPOINTS & OVERLAYS
• Mark your current location, a map point, or type a grid
• Group waypoints into toggleable, color-coded overlays
• Draw lines and polygons for routes, sectors, and boundaries
• Plan multi-point routes with per-leg distance and bearing
• Projected waypoints — create a point from a range and bearing off any origin
• Military symbols for friendly, hostile, neutral, and unknown units

MAP WITH A REAL GRID
• Smooth, labeled MGRS / UTM grid overlay
• Waypoint markers and gentle clustering
• Measure ruler reads distance in degrees AND mils
• Follow mode keeps your current zoom
• Range rings around your position, the map centre, or any waypoint
• Area shapes — place a square, rectangle, or circle from a centre point and a size
• Night vision — the whole app turns red, map included, with a one-tap switch on the Map screen

NAVIGATE
