CoordCalc vs Lat/Long
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
CoordCalc
Calculate distances and bearings between two points on Earth using manual coordinates or the built-in map. It can also determine a final position based on an initial point, distance, and bearing. Supports various units and coordinate formats.
- Calculate distance and bearing between two points
- Determine final position from initial point, distance, and bearing
- Manual coordinate input or map-based selection
- Supports multiple distance units (miles, km, nautical miles, etc.)
- Converts between decimal degrees, minutes, and seconds
- Uses GPS for current location
- Saves previous positions

A coordinate utility app that calculates the distance and initial/final bearings between two points on Earth specified either manually by latitude and longitude or automatically using the built-in map. It can also calculate a final position given an initial position, distance, and bearing. ################################ Limited time sale, get it now before the price increase to $4.99 ################################ The final distance can be calculated in miles, kilometers, nautical miles, yards, meters, or feet. Coordinates can be specified in and converted to and from decimal degrees, decimal minutes or decimal seconds. Bearing is returned in degrees true. Uses WGS84 for improved great circle distance calculation accuracy. NOTES: Coordinate messages can only be sent to other CoordCalc users and are available only within the app. Additional Features: -Can use internal GPS to find the lat/lon coordinates of your current location -Can use and drag the points around on the built-in map and get distance/bearing updates continuously. -Shows starting and ending positions on a map -Saves the previous set of starting and ending positions -Maps can display satellite imagery, and labeled roads, highways, cities, oceans, etc. -Can send coordinate messages with short notes to other CoordCalc users. - Built-in HD version for iPad Example use cases: -Navigation tool for aircraft, boats, etc. -Measure walking distance -Finding your exact position in order to mark points of interest/landmarks or meeting places. -Visualize and edit starting and ending locations using the map feature. -Calculate the size of various landmarks if they are visible via satellite. -Save the position of your parked car -Convert coordinates between different formats Checkout the revamped website and video at: www.justintimeapps.com iOS 4.0 Tested A video demo of how to move the pins is located here: http://www.justintimeapps.com/ts.html This pin jumping issue has been fixed in iOS 4.0, but for iOS 3.0 users, the difficulty of this depends alot on your screen protector. If the protector has a rough surface and causes your finger to jump around, the pin will be dropped often. You will get a better response if you move your finger slowly. Although, you should still be able to move a pin from the top to the bottom of the screen within 2 seconds without losing track. In iOS 4.0, this is not an issue.
Lat/Long
Easily convert latitude and longitude coordinates between different decimal and degree formats. The app copies converted values to your clipboard for seamless pasting into other applications.
- Convert between deg/min/sec.dec, deg/min.dec, and deg.dec
- Copy converted coordinates to clipboard
- Supports LAT DD MM SS.d format
- Supports LONG DDD MM SS.d format
- Ensures accurate entry for longitude

Make effortless conversion of Latitude and Longitude from deg/min/sec.dec to deg/min.dec or deg.dec. Just tap on the field You want and the result is copied to clipboard and can be pasted to other application's that can use information. The format for LAT is DD MM SS.d while for the LONG it is DDD MM SS.d. LONG goes from 0-180 deg, so for example if You want you use 51 deg LONG the way to enter it in the app is 051 MM SS.d The reason why I left it this way is to make sure that there is no mistake while entering coordinates. Example entry: 25 16 54.60N / 051 36 06.49E (don’t omit the 0 at the beginning of LONG if its less then 100 deg LONG, if I would programmatically remove 0 that could lead to errors and ambiguity)

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CoordCalc at 3.0 against Lat/Long's 1.0. CoordCalc also leads on chart position (#170 vs unranked) and ratings volume (4 vs 1). Lat/Long's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $2.99). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
