## What is No BS GPS?

No BS GPS is a standalone watch app (no iPhone needed) that simply just shows your current GPS coordinates in a variety of formats in large print.

Coordinate formats available include:
Decimal Degress (DD)
Degrees, Decimal Minutes (DDM)
Degrees, Minutes, Seconds (DMS)
Military Grid Reference System (MGRS)
Universal Transverse Mercador (UTM)

This app also shows your current altitude/elevation and your watch GPS's current horizontal and vertical accuracy.

Accuracy and altitude can be displayed in feet or meters.

If you're a member of the military who needs to immediately know their coordinates with no hassle, you will also find it handy that you can pause the GPS and freeze your currently displayed coordinates.

Hunters and fishers, keep track of the GPS coordinates of your favorite hunting and fishing spots.

Geocachers, use this app to easily locate your geocaches.

Apple Watches use the WGS 84 reference frame datum. See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocationcoordinate2d

### 1/5 — Waste of Time

*2020-10-15*

I needed a way of displaying degrees and decimal minutes for chart work. 
Doesn’t work in Apple Watch 6 running latest update. 
Sometimes a force touch brings up the settings but sometimes it doesn’t. Even when I can select the correct lat and long format it only displays the lat. 
Waste of money.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed for the field

*2020-04-11*

I’ve tried many watch apps for my coordinates for our field problems, and none work without my phone even though I bought the watch with gps built in. Phones aren’t allowed in the field, and even if I could use one, that’s another battery to worry about charging. 

Just like everyone else out here using paper maps, I needed to be able to call up my grid instantly for a PAR, so immediate access to my coordinates was a necessity. Unlike everyone else, I didn’t spend $150 (including military discount!) for a separate device just to do it. 

Thank you!
