CoordCalc vs Deed Calls

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.

Deed Calls - Grid - Stakeout for iPAD, iPhone and iPod touch provides the functions for creating an area by entering deed calls, generating grid points over the area, as well as locating the area boundary and the grid points. These functions are very helpful to foresters who need to create a deed plot and add a grid of sampling points for timber cruising or stand survey. Farmers could also use these functions to help them navigate to sampling points for taking soil samples. To make use of the Stakeout functions, your device needs to have built-in GPS or be connected to a compatible external GPS. The Deed Calls function will let you specify the starting point, orientation angle and units of measure, and the app will draw the property boundary as you enter the angles and distances. It will display the angles and distances as well as the closure error, total area and perimeter. The points and area boundary can also be created by digitizing over the displayed background map. The Grid function will let you create grid points or grid lines at the specified orientation and spacing. You can create a square grid or a rectangular grid. The Point Stakeout function will help you navigate to individual grid points or stakeout the nodes on the deed plot. The Line Stakeout function will guide you in moving parallel to the outline of the deed plot or along any line feature you have digitized. You can turn the navigation beeps on or off as you please. This app also provides the Measure Distance and Measure Area functions as well as the ability to export the Points, Line and Area Features to a DXF file and to export the deed plot and deed calls to a PDF file. You will be able to use this app for viewing any PDF file stored in the Documents folder of this app. In addition, you will be able to email the job files (*.pmp), the Deed Calls files (*.dcf), the DXF files and the PDF files to yourself or to a colleague. Please note: Location data depends on the GPS receiver used. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. This app will let you easily toggle the built-in GPS on or off.
