ZeroTier One for iOS allows you to join ZeroTier virtual networks as VPN connections on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. ZeroTier creates secure peer-to-peer virtual Ethernet networks that work anywhere. Skip the VPN hassles. Connect hybrid clouds, remote teams, and IoT devices directly with no hardware required. ZeroTier One provides virtual network endpoint functionality for iOS devices. Getting started takes seconds: Just tap '+', enter your network ID and name, and then click ‘join network.’ (Once a network is added you can also join it via the iOS VPN control panel. It will appear there as an available VPN connection.) You can only join one ZeroTier network at once due to an iOS limitation of one VPN connection per network extension app. The app allows you to add multiple networks but if you flip one to 'on' any others currently joined will disconnect. We value your feedback! If you encounter any issues or have suggestions for future improvements, please contact our support team through our website. Thanks for using ZeroTier! Clients for other platforms are available on https://www.zerotier.com/ and source code to ZeroTier's core engine can be found here: https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne

About

GridGrabber

Read full description

Coordinates rarely arrive ready to use. They come buried in messages, field notes, reports and map links — mixed with names, times, instructions and other text. GridGrabber turns that information into a simple workflow: Paste → Extract → Check → Use. Paste the text as you received it. GridGrabber finds supported coordinates and brings the results together in one place — without making you clean up or retype the message first. Usable results are ready to copy, open in a map app or export as KML or GPX. If something is incomplete or ambiguous, GridGrabber keeps that uncertainty visible so you can check it before relying on it. GridGrabber supports MGRS, UTM, latitude/longitude and other common coordinate formats, as well as supported Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze links. Core coordinate processing works offline and on your device. There is no account, analytics or activity history. Network access is only used when a supported map link needs external resolution and you choose to continue. GridGrabber doesn’t replace your map, navigation or reporting tools. It handles the step between receiving location information and using it. Less retyping. Less format juggling. Fewer avoidable mistakes.
