## What is Vera MGRS?

MGRS-first waypoint navigation on a single screen.

Set three points — where you started, where you are, where you're going. Vera MGRS shows MGRS first with Decimal, DDM, DMS, and UTM alternates, and a compass that points from B to C with bearing and distance. Built with GeographicLib for geodesic precision.

FEATURES:
• A/B/C navigation on a single screen — start, current, destination
• MGRS primary with Decimal, DDM, DMS, UTM alternates
• Compass with bearing and distance to destination
• Share any of A/B/C over AirDrop with configurable detail
• Apple Watch companion for capture and a navigation glance
• Optional iCloud sync across devices
• No ads, no tracking

COORDINATE FORMATS:
• MGRS (10SEG 51309 77447)
• Decimal Degrees (37.7749°, -122.4194°)
• Degrees Decimal Minutes (37° 46.497' N)
• Degrees-Minutes-Seconds (37°46'29.7"N)
• UTM (10S 551309 4177447)
• Maidenhead grid (CM87ss)

Built for search and rescue, surveying, geocaching, amateur radio, aviation, marine navigation, and anyone who lives in MGRS or UTM.

Every feature is free. Optional support subscriptions help fund continued development.
