So here's my honest take on Land Nav Assistant. I've tested a bunch of navigation apps and this one's pretty solid. The core features work really well - the MGRS and lat/lon support is great, and I like how it gives you all the key metrics like distance, bearing, and speed. It's a useful tool for improving your land nav technique. That said, the interface could be a bit more polished and intuitive. And I found the ads to be more intrusive than I'd like. But overall, it's a good app that gets the job done.

Description

Been using Land Nav Assistant for a couple months now. It’s basically a navigation app that helps you practice your land navigation skills. Pretty solid if you’re into that kind of thing.

Here’s what you do: you can enter coordinates – like MGRS or lat/lon – and it’ll guide you to that spot on the map. And there’s also a cool arrow interface that points you in the right direction and shows your distance, bearing, and speed. And you can drop pins on the map to save locations – that’s really handy.

Look, if you’re in the military or just into outdoor navigation, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the UI can be a bit clunky at times – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want to brush up on your land nav skills.
