Grid Nav Free MGRS Utility
Features:-Displays current location in decimal and MGRS format along with accuracy reading, number of GPS satellites seen, altitude, course and speed.
-Rangefinder allows you to find approximate distance to an object based on angular difference.
-Converter converts coordinates between degrees and DMS and UTM and MGRS
-Show information in Imperial (feet/mph) or metric (meters/kph)
Note: This app is only as accurate as your device's sensors. Most device compasses are very inaccurate, causing poor rangefinder performance. DO NOT USE THIS APP IN LIFE CRITICAL SITUATIONS. Use at your own risk. Always have a backup.

Turned it on for the first time in a hotel room, and it had my coordinates in perfect accuracy, while stating it was seeing 11 satellites. What is most shocking, really, is that this information wasn't already available to the user of a phone with GPS - if the phone had always been reading satellites and calculating position, why wasn't that information available to the user? Without that info, you could only previously see your position in an urban area (street maps).
It wouldn't work when I needed a grid, it was 2 klicks away from my pos... it works with wifi but not good for land Navigation.
This app allows me to use MGRS, which after 20 years in the Army is what I'm comfortable with. Great app, never had any issues with it.
Not a bad ap, it displays the error margin you get from the sats and lets you choose metric or imperial. Can't input MGRS coordinates though.
only converts one way (can't do mgrs->geo etc). page swiping doesn't work reliably and breaks back button. why the hell would anyone buy the ad-free version of this garbage?
It needs a copy paste ability for the coords so you can put it into a text.
Jury's still out. Sometimes it's on point, others, and they are rare it has been off by 3 grid squares. Still like the software, but I always have somebody double check with me when appropriate.
Love how simple this is. No excessive complications
Awesome for land nav. Definitely wouldn't rely on it for fires. Then again why would you.
App is great. It's helped me out on land nav sites many times :)
Very good app. Just need to be able to input waypoints
simple, very simple, but easy to use and not too bad
All good. Wish it could show distance and direction to a given grid.
Grid accuracy +/- 14,786 feet! Well at least I'll know what state I'm in? ¿
Its pretty good honey
... half the battle. In case I need to request fire support in the 'burbs...
EXCUSE ME. Why does it need my phone ID and full access to internet? Apart from that it looks promising.
Best app on the play store for MGRS grids.
Mine is off by 5000 meters
Excelent app. Simple and useful.
Keeps on updating only. ...
Saved me
Iam using a Galaxy note3. When share menu is used window opens in a zoomed in view. You can not zoom out or swipe r/l to see the share options. Iguess this because its the feeware version.
I was looking for an app to help me approximate a parcel of land. Working great right now, seeing as many as 12 satellites. Hope the trees aren't too thick on the parcel I plan to check.
App no longer supported, developer contact email no longer exists. Simple ability to change elevation from meters to feet gone.
