FieldGrid: Military GPS & MGRS app analytics for October 11

Your position as a military grid, and the tools that go with reading one. FieldGrid shows where you are in MGRS, UTM, decimal degrees and degrees-minutes-seconds at the same time, so you can read a grid to someone on a radio and plot it on a paper map without converting anything in your head. POSITION - MGRS at 100 m, 10 m or 1 m precision, with the Norway and Svalbard zone exceptions handled - UTM, decimal degrees and DMS alongside it - A second format shown under the first, your choice of which - Read the grid out loud in NATO phonetic, with Niner for nine - Home Screen widget and an Apple Watch app with the same grid MAP AND MARKS - Satellite or standard map, with a red night mode that keeps your eyes adjusted - Drop, name and categorise waypoints: OP, LZ, HQ, CP, rally, contact, hazard, medical, supply - Range rings for judging distance - Record a track and see the distance as it goes - Import and export GPX, so waypoints move between this and whatever else you use FIELD TOOLS - Lensatic compass in degrees and NATO mils - Pace counter - 9-line MEDEVAC and 9-line CAS forms, SALUTE report - Danger close reference distances by weapon system - Sun and moon rise, set and phase for your position FREE AND PRO Five waypoints on the free plan, unlimited with Pro, which also removes the ads. Everything else — the grids, the compass, the forms, the tools — is free. COMMON QUESTIONS Does it work with no signal? Your position does. GPS comes from satellites, so the grid, the compass, the waypoints and the track keep working with no bars at all. The map tiles do not: those come over the network, and without a connection you get whatever iOS still has cached. How accurate is the grid? As accurate as the phone's GPS, which is metres on a good day and worse under canopy or between buildings. A 1 m grid does not make the fix 1 m good; it just stops the app from rounding away what the fix does give you. Is the danger close table authoritative? No, and the app says so on that screen. They are published reference figures for orientation and training. They do not replace your unit's tables, the fire direction centre, or the commander's risk estimate. Does it send my position anywhere? No. Waypoints and tracks stay on the device and go to your watch. There is no account and no server. Can I get my waypoints out? Yes, as GPX, which opens in the usual mapping tools. FOR Land navigation training, hunting, hiking and backcountry, search and rescue, surveying, geocaching, and anyone who has to say where they are in a grid rather than a street address.
