Land Nav Assistant accepts MGRS (Military Grid) or Latitude / Longitude coordinates and visually navigates you to each point. This app was designed with Army, Marine, and other military personnel in mind. Use it to correct your Land Nav technique by analyzing your pace count and tendency to veer left and right. Available Input: 8 digit MGRS, 10 digit MGRS, Lat/Lon decimal, Lat/Lon dms, and map input. Angles: degrees or mils Distance: meters/km or feet/miles Speed: kph or mph Use the simple arrow interface or map to direct you to your locations. Your distance, direction, speed, and bearing are shown as you navigate. Long-tap anywhere on the map to get the coordinate for that location. Easily add locations via the Map interface. Plan your course by ordering points, or use the course optimization tool which will help you calculate the shortest path possible! Get distance/direction between two points by tapping the path drawn between them. Satellite, Terrain, Road, and basic Topographic maps show you, your locations, and lets you enter in new ones. Overlay a 1000m or 100m MGRS grid anywhere on the map. Displays distance/direction from your currentl location to all points, or between any two points. Download your Locations as a spreadsheet to save anywhere, or to share with anyone you choose. Import a large set of locations via the web import utility, available at: https://www.gammonapplications.com/land-navigation-services/import This app uses the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) and Latitude / Longitude. Choose to display your locations as MGRS 10-digit, MGRS 8-digit, or LatLon Decimal. D:M:S can be input in the format DD:MM:SS followed by the appropriate direction (NSWE). Default direction is N, W. DO NOT use this application while learning Land Navigation. Land Navigation is a valuable skill, and should be mastered before using this application. Do not rely solely on this application for navigation, especially when lost. Always be aware of your surroundings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Coordinates at Free against Land Nav Assistant's $2.99. Coordinates also leads on ratings volume (6.8K vs 73) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). Land Nav Assistant's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On rating and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Coordinates is free to download; Land Nav Assistant costs $2.99 up front. Coordinates sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Land Nav Assistant asks for nothing beyond the download.
Coordinates holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coordinates has 6.8K ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Coordinates's written reviews are positive against 85% of Land Nav Assistant's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Coordinates ships an update monthly, Land Nav Assistant every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
