Easily share your GPS location via email, text messaging, Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc. The recipient receives a link to an online map with your position on it. Please note that GPS does not work well under a roof. For best results, use outdoors. Coordinate formats include: - Degrees - Degrees, Minutes - Degrees, Minutes, Seconds - UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) - MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) Share with any of the following map providers: - Apple Maps - Google Maps™ - Bing Maps™ - OpenStreetMap® - Yandex.Maps - HERE.com - Custom URL Other features: - Copy coordinates to clipboard. (To paste elsewhere) - Copy map URL to clipboard. - Choose between light or dark theme. - Set email or emails to autofill when composing mail. - Set phone number to autofill when composing text message. - Create custom map URLs. Please refer to the help webpage for more information and examples. Note that it usually takes several seconds for the satellite GPS receiver to warm up and provide accurate position data. During this time, it's possible to share an old location or an inaccurate location reported by cellular tower triangulation. This is why the 'last location age' and 'accuracy' readouts exist. Red means bad. Please also note that choosing the correct coordinate format is very important. Minutes and seconds are base 60, not base 100. For example, 2.50 degrees is 2 degrees and 30 minutes. The datum used is WGS-84. Please visit the web page for more details.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Touch GIS at 4.0 against My GPS Coordinates's 3.3. Touch GIS also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). My GPS Coordinates's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Touch GIS sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. My GPS Coordinates asks for nothing beyond the download.
Touch GIS holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 63 and 32 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of My GPS Coordinates's written reviews are positive against 50% of Touch GIS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My GPS Coordinates ships an update every 3 months, Touch GIS every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
