GPS Coordinates Locator Map

What this GPS coordinates app is for

GPS Coordinates Locator Map shows where you are as a set of coordinates and as a point on a map. It suits people who need a position written in a specific format, such as a hiker logging a trail or someone marking a café they want to return to. The developer describes it as a coordinate finder for Android.

Most of the app is about reading and converting positions. It also keeps a record of places you have looked up, so earlier spots can be reopened.

Reading your position in different coordinate formats

The app displays your GPS location and converts it into DMS and UTM, plus MGRS grid references. Geohash and Plus Codes are also available, and these turn a location into a short text string that is easier to read aloud or type than raw latitude and longitude.

Each format is shown for the same point, so switching between a degree reading and a grid reference does not require finding the location again.

Pinpointing a location on the map and by satellite

The GPS locator places your position on a map, and the GPS coordinates map view lets you see those readings against the ground. A GPS satellite screen is included, and a direction compass shows which way you are facing.

Together these cover the basic question of where you are and which way to go next.

Looking up coordinates without a connection

The listing includes a coordinates locator that works offline, so position readings can still be produced when there is no mobile data. The listing does not describe how offline data is stored or how much of an area it covers.

Saving, sharing and revisiting marked places

A maps history keeps the locations you have looked up, so an earlier point can be opened again without searching for it. The developer says the app lets you share coordinates, which makes it possible to pass a spot to someone else.

Marking places in this way fits the trail and café use cases the listing gives as examples.
