GPS & Maps vs GNSS View

GPS & Maps is a simple, yet powerful GPS app for supporting navigation and outdoor activities like geocaching, sailing, skating, trekking, biking or traveling by airplane. It measures your position, height and acceleration with accuracy information and in different units like feet, meter, miles and kilometers. Your highest altitude and speed will also be logged. You can show and save your current position or other waypoints on a map and pick one of the following formats to view your coordinates: - GPS Coordinates (Latitude/Longitude) - Decimal Degrees - Degrees/Minutes/Seconds - UTM: Universal Transverse Mercator - MGRS: Military Grid Reference System GPS & Maps is a must have for geocachers, due to the easy switching between coordinates and map. The integrated flashlight enables users like geocachers to find targets even in dark environments without having to use a separate device. Via in-app purchase you can add some useful features to GPS & Maps: - Premium Edition: Unlock all of the following features. - Waypoints: Save your current location as a marker on the map. Add new locations like geo caches to the map by entering GPS coordinates. Pick different colors for waypoints. Export waypoints via e-mail. Show or hide saved waypoints on the map. - Map Widgets: The draggable Map Widgets show your location, altitude, speed, address and GPS accuracy directly on the map. You can change the widget transparency and textcolor in the settings to optimize readability on different map tiles and map data sources like Google Maps or Open Street Map. - Compass: The compass shows your heading relative to magnetic north or true north (configurable in the settings) and your current location coordinates. It also shows additional information like street, city and country. If you buy Compass and Map Widgets the Compass will also be displays as a widget on the map. - Open Street Map: This feature enhances the map with additional map data from Open Street Map. - Google Maps: This feature enhances the map with additional map data from Google Maps. The map modes 'standard', 'satellite', 'hybrid' and 'terrain' can be selected in the options menu. - iCloud Backup & Restore Please keep in mind that the accuracy of your position and acceleration always depends on the intensity of the available GPS signal. Compass and heading information are only available on devices with magnetometer.

This application enables you to see where the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System in the sky！ ●What is QZSS？ Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) is a Japanese satellite positioning system composed mainly of satellites in quasi-zenith orbits (QZO). Satellite positioning systems use satellite signals to calculate position information. One famous example is the American Global Positioning System (GPS) and the QZSS is sometimes called the Japanese GPS. For details, please refer to the following Website "Quasi-Zenith Satellite System". URL : https://qzss.go.jp/en ●What is GNSS View？ GNSS View provides that iOS version application that is based on the website application "GNSS View". This application enables you to know position of positioning satellites such as QZSS and GPS in the specified time and location. The positioning satellites displayed in the GNSS View are not based on the satellite information directly received by the smartphone but are displayed based on the satellite arrangement calculated based on the publicly released orbit information. ●GNSS View 3 functions 【Main】 ・You can move to the Position Radar screen or AR Display screen from the application startup screen. ・You can see the operating manual and privacy policy of this application via the website. 【Position Radar】 ・It is provided radar view of positioning satellites such as QZSS and GPS as a sky plot at the specified time and location. ・Positioning satellites can be specified from QZSS, GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, SBAS. ・You can also select specified signal satellites to see on the radar. ・You can see selected satellites by setting elevation mask angle. ・You can switch east and west of satellite arrangement, turn on / off rotation, and switch on / off display of satellite number. ・It displays HDOP, VDOP, the total number of satellites and the number of each positioning satellites in the satellite arrangement displayed on the radar. 【AR Display】 ・Position of positioning satellites such as QZSS and GPS on the sky from your current location is able to see through your camera at the specified time. ・In order to display satellites, it is necessary to turn on the position information of the smartphone and complete the positioning. Therefore, it may take time to display. ・Positioning satellites can be specified from QZSS, GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, SBAS. ・You can also select specified signal satellites to see on the radar. ・You can see selected satellites by setting elevation mask angle. ●Supported versions ・iOS 26 ・iOS 18 ・iOS 17 ・iOS 16 ・iOS 15 ・iOS 14
