Positional: GPS, Compass, Sunrise/Sunset/Twilights
• NO ADS, EVERYTHING IS FREE. PERIOD.
• Fastest possible location
• GPS coordinates in various formats:
• Decimal Degrees
• Degrees and Decimal Minutes
• Degrees, Minutes, Seconds
• UTM
• MGRS
• Compass that can show you both magnetic and true north
• Sunrise and sunset times
• Civil, nautical, and astronomical twilight times
• Metric and US units: Switch units for speed, elevation, and accuracy
• 12-hour and 24-hour time support
• Screen lock capability: Lock the screen on while the app is open by tapping the screen lock button in the lower right corner of the coordinates
Positional uses your device's "fused" location, which has huge benefits over simply using your device's GPS receiver:
• SPEED: Sometimes your GPS signal reception is really poor, but you have a good cell or wifi signal. Positional seamlessly uses all of these signals to get your location as quickly as possible.
• ACCURACY: Because Positional can use GPS, cell towers, and wifi to determine your location, it's able to get the most accurate possible location using any of those means. On top of that, it shows you exactly how confident it is of your position.
• VERSATILITY: You don't need to have a great signal from GPS in order to use Positional. In fact, if your device has decent cell or wifi reception, Positional can use it to determine your location as well. This means you can get your location in situations where GPS signals are spotty: bad weather, inside buildings, etc...
• BATTERY EFFICIENCY: If other apps are already determining your location, Positional can use that location too, so that it doesn't use any extra battery power.
NOTE: If you leave Positional running in the foreground, it will consume a fair amount of power, since it determines your location every few seconds. If you're going to leave the app in the foreground for long periods of time, I highly suggest plugging into a power source.
If you'd like to see an additional GPS coordinates format or have other questions/comments, I'd love to hear from you! Send me an email or create an issue at https://github.com/miketrewartha/positional.
Enjoy :)

Exactly what I was looking for! Simply reads out GPS coordinates, elevation, direction, etc. Very light install, no gimmicks, and NO ADS! I've tested the app's output data and it correlates to within a few feet of Google Maps. I highly recommend this app!
I simply love the clean design, clear layout and efficient functionality of this app. I wish some other developers would come to realise that less is often much more. Thank you very much!
Thanks Mike! This App is great! Does what is says and does it well! Truly grateful for this App! Packs a lot more heat than some other vile App that doesn't get "Don't Be Evil" which was deceitfully shoved into my view with their deliberate lies and false advertising and some super sketchy terms... and people rated that sh×t HIGH?😳 I guess they we're? 😂 There's a meteor shower tonight in a NE direction, and I don't even know my elbow from my auntie! 😂 Hoping to get some lekker footage!📸😊
So far an amazingly simple and straightforward application to use. Used it to verify a hardware issue on an old phone, and then realized it was the best "compass app" money didn't need to buy!
Gives GPS coordinates in multiple formats. Compass is a plus. Too good to be free and ad-free!
Does exactly what it says. Simple interface and sensibly presented. Couldn't ask for more.
One of the best GPS info apps. It shows you accurate GPS data based on mobile network or GPS sensor only. I mainly use the compass 🙂
The best compass app on Android. Beautiful UI, very accurate and no ads. Love it!
Amazing app! Sensitivity foxed. Works great. If the app trackers are removed 5 stars for this
I love this little app! Responsive developer, VERY accurate, and super lightweight.
No ads! A slim and useful application.
Does exactly what it says with no adds or intrusive permissions.
Very nice and simple app but frozen compass
Informative and simple to use 👍🏻
Nice, thanks. But how do I convert coordinates into a) something a Garmin would understand, and b) something Google maps would understand?
Great job guys! Can't get any better than this one!
Great and useful app. Thanks.
Works like it says on the box
Good app by point info.
Nice app. Thanks.
Thanks for this app, dev.
Garbage totally backward
Work flawlessly now, thanks you for the quick action. New design looks good too. Keep it up
Love the layout of this app but it seem to show the altitude 100ft to high (I live at see level) the rest works fine. It needs a Man adjustment overuse. Also I'd like to see a way of adjusting the sample time for speed. But it's staying on my SONY 5 MK2 as a little mental arithmetic never done me any harm..5 or of 5 but fix it and it'll be 5 out of 5
