About

GPS Coordinates & Altitude

Features
Read full description

Open the app and you know exactly where you stand: latitude, longitude, altitude, heading and speed on one screen, ready to copy, save or send in a single tap. GPS Coordinates & Altitude is built like a surveyor's field kit, not a novelty. Coordinates switch between DD, DDM and DMS with a tap. Every fix you stamp records speed, altitude, heading and accuracy, so what you saved is what you can prove later. WHAT YOU GET β€’ Read your exact coordinates in the format your map, form or friend expects β€’ Send a complete position card (coordinates, address, altitude, weather) in one share β€’ Stamp a fix and find it again by name, note, star or search β€’ Record trips with live duration, distance, max and average speed β€’ Get a notification the moment you exceed a speed limit you set β€’ Export your whole log as CSV or JSON and keep it forever PERFECT FOR β€’ Hikers and off-road drivers who need a fix that works away from street names β€’ Field workers logging sites, poles, samples and inspection points β€’ Travelers sending a meeting point that never gets lost in translation β€’ Anyone who parks, camps or anchors and wants to walk straight back WHY NOT JUST USE THE MAPS APP? Maps shows a blue dot. GPS Coordinates shows the numbers behind it, in three formats, with altitude, heading, accuracy and weather beside them. It keeps a searchable log of every place you stamped, records trips with speed statistics, and hands you a clean CSV when you need one. Maps does none of that. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your field log stays on your device. No account, no sign-in, no cloud copy you did not ask for. Export it or wipe it whenever you like. Weather is fetched only for your current fix and only while you look at it. FULL ACCESS GPS Coordinates requires a subscription or a one-time purchase. Choose weekly, yearly, or lifetime. Every plan unlocks the same complete field kit: unlimited log entries, trip tracking, speed alerts, live weather, full-screen map and exports. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period and are managed in your App Store account settings. Stamp your first fix today and never lose a position again.
