Best 2 dollars I ever spent. When the training environment is massive and you have to make your own road, this app is perfect

I tried it and it had no idea where I was. It constantly changed in sharp directions. Needs a lot of work. Would be very useful for land nav if it worked

Compass is frozen. I have a samsung z flip. Everything else works great. I tried google map to calibrate but no luck. Auto rotation is on. What else can I do to make the compass work?

I love this app! It’s great to calculate distance, analyze terrains and helps getting the exact grid of the location you desire. I just wish they updated it more often.

Make an app for smartwatches (Tizen, Andriod Wear, and Apple watch) that can connect to the phones and display an arrow and distance towards coordinate/path. This would be very helpful.

Absolutely love the features and ease of use but would enjoy being able to map out trails and paths in an overlay that I could apply

Seems like it could be a good app but the magnetic compass does not work and the company has not responded to two emails asking for help. The magnetic compass does work in other apps on this phone.

If you like to track distances, drop pins or check waypoints while walking in the woods this is the best 2 bucks your ever gonna spend. It has a few problems here an there but what navigation app dont have its problems. There are many map types even some nice topographical maps for evaluating you […]

I’ve read many reviews where people say that the compass doesn’t work sometimes. I experienced the same issue from time to time THE WORKAROUND: close the App 100%. Your points and history will be retained, but this will give the compass a hard reset. Thank me later 😁

I have used this app for years now and anytime I need grid locations and great pictures of locations, using it as a back up nav source when doing refresher land navigation, or even just getting some directional bearing on a super cloudy day this app is my go to! I will never not have […]

The app is great the Coordinates work well. The compass doesn’t work it lags a lot I did all the calibration options: google maps calibrated and working welll with high calibration. Also downloaded the GPS Status app as recommended and calibrated my GPS there too but the land nav app compass will still not work […]

Nooooooo! What did you do!!? Last update has made this app so annoying to use. The compass is almost unusable as it goes from north to south constantly giving me no idea of which way im actually facing. Ive had to download a compass app to get the proper direction and it works fine. This […]

Bought this app for the little “reconnaissance patrol” my friend and I like to do every 4th of July. It worked great even having no signal out in the Tillamook forest of Oregon. I was able to set a nice route that followed the low ground using the included topographical map feature. My only grip […]

i use this quite a bit for work. For my purposes as a trainer, it’s more efficient than burning through AAA batteries on a Fortrex every day and a half, and it’s instantly available as soon as I open the app if I forget to fire it up before I need to call of a […]

This app is great. I use it for work almost every day. I ride an ATV for work and have to navigate trails for military training. The only thing I wish i could do is track my movement on trails and have it save on the map like the MGRS app as some trails are […]

This app had so much potential. It worked liked a charm and used it to help teach classes and confirm pace counts and land nav points, etc. However, the compass is now frozen. I conducted all of calibration steps and none of it worked. I downloaded other apps and the compass for them functions on […]
