MissionNAV is a professional field-navigation app for hiking, search and rescue, hunting, surveying reference, emergency preparedness, geocaching, and outdoor operations. Navigate with accurate GPS position data and view your location in MGRS, USNG, UTM, OSNG, latitude/longitude decimal degrees, degrees-minutes-seconds, and degrees-decimal-minutes. Convert coordinates, copy or share them, create waypoints, and open locations on the map. Use the navigation compass to track bearing and distance to a selected waypoint. View target direction, current heading, speed, altitude, GPS accuracy, course, and estimated travel information. Optional haptic feedback helps indicate when you are aligned with your target. Create waypoints from your current GPS position, manual coordinate entry, map center, long-press map placement, or distance-and-bearing projection. Rename, edit, favorite, duplicate, reorder, organize, and delete waypoints. Group locations into overlays such as Home, Hiking, Emergency, Survey, or Mission, with visibility controls, custom icons, and colors. The Field Map provides standard, satellite, and hybrid map styles, user location tracking, waypoint markers, a fixed center targeting reticle, coordinate display, and map-based waypoint creation. Measure distance and bearing between locations and quickly purge all saved waypoints when needed. Import and export waypoint data using GPX, KML, CSV, and MissionNAV JSON backups. Share individual waypoints or your complete waypoint dataset using the native iOS share sheet, including AirDrop, Messages, Mail, Files, and iCloud Drive. Customize the Dashboard and Navigate screens with reorderable data panels, adjustable font sizes, unit preferences, and multiple display presets. Choose metric, US/Imperial, or both units for distance, speed, and altitude. Personalize the experience with Tactical Green, Amber Night, Ocean Blue, High Contrast, and daylight-friendly display options. MissionNAV stores waypoint data locally and core navigation features work without an account or subscription. GPS-dependent readings are clearly identified and are never fabricated when unavailable.

Holding a 1927-era plat, a deed description, or an old agency drawing? Those coordinates are NAD27 State Plane, not what your phone reports - and the difference on the ground is tens of metres. This app shows both at once. SPCS83 and UTM on top, NAD27 State Plane in US survey feet and NAD27 UTM right underneath, updating live as you walk. The conversion uses NADCON, the National Geodetic Survey's own grid, so the number matches the drawing rather than approximating it. Try all features completely free for the first month. [ Key Features ] - Real-Time Coordinate Display: Simultaneously shows Latitude/Longitude (WGS84), UTM, and MGRS. - Legacy Grids: NAD27 State Plane and NAD27 UTM via NADCON, for checking older plats, deeds and boundary work. - Enter a Coordinate, Go There: Type or paste a grid coordinate and the map jumps to it. - Multiple Points at Once: Paste a list of coordinates, drop them together, and step through them one by one. - Feet or Metres: Switch between metres, US survey feet and international feet - every readout and every entry follows. - Distance and Bearing: Range and direction from where you stand to the pin, with live GPS accuracy. - CSV Export: Send saved points out as CSV for your office software. - Street View: Jump from any point straight to Google Street View. - Pin Function: Tap the map to drop a pin and read its coordinates and address. - Favorites Manager: Manage multiple job sites and reference points efficiently. - Address Lookup: Shows the street address of your location or any pin. - Auto-Detect Local Coordinate Systems: Automatically identifies and displays the correct local grid and zone worldwide. - One-Tap Copy: Copy retrieved coordinate data to your clipboard with a single tap. - Share & Report: Capture screenshots containing coordinate data to easily share or save via email and messaging apps. - Transparent Map Overlay: Seamlessly layer satellite imagery with OSM (OpenStreetMap) to read terrain, vegetation, roads, and facilities at once. Ideal for construction, civil engineering, environmental surveys, forestry, mountain rescue, and any scenario demanding precise location data.
