GB Grid Ref Compass vs Spine Guide

Find out your current location on a GB Map, whilst in Great Britain. This app will give you your GB Grid Ref (Ordnance Survey / OS Grid Reference), along with a Compass Bearing and Latitude and Longitude values in both OSGB36 and WGS84 formats. The accuracy of the Device GPS signal will also be shown. Includes a handy graphical guide to the "National Grid" system. Whilst the app will work worldwide, the values given will only be of use within the United Kingdom. Ideal for use on walks. Always carry a map and physical compass in addition to your iPhone. For the best accuracy, use in an open space, away from trees or hill edges. Like a traditional compass, use with the phone in a flat position, not upright. When continued usage is required, you can set the iPhone Screen to stay on indefinitely, from the Settings tab. Send or Share your location information in a Text Message (or iMessage), Email or Tweet* This app requires Location Services to be enabled in your iPhone, and you must grant permission to the app to use these. Compatible with iPhone. Not compatible with iPod Touch, or (non-cellular) iPads, due to the lack of GPS and Compass hardware. * - Internet Connection, and correctly configured Text Message (or iMessage), Email and / or Twitter settings, required to fulfil. -- A sister app is now available for use in Ireland. Please search for Irish Grid Ref Compass.

Download the Spine Guide now to unlock exclusive content about the people, businesses, buildings and neighbourhoods which make Sheffield an amazing and innovative place. The app is GPS-enabled. This feature is used to show you relevant content based on your location. Note that you do not need to be at the locations in Sheffield featured in order to access the app content. The app also optionally uses Location Services to determine your location when the app is running in the background. It will trigger notifications when you are close to a location of interest. However, as with all apps that use location, please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. During Open Doors 2026 on 20th October, content in the app is ‘unlocked’ by interacting with NFC tags at physical locations within Sheffield. Each scan will earn the user points. The user can optionally choose to join the event leaderboard, and a chance to win a £100 gift card.
