Handy GPS

The perfect companion for your next outdoor adventure. Seek, find, record and return home with Handy GPS.This app is a real navigation tool designed for outdoors sports like hiking, bushwalking, mountain biking, kayaking and trail riding. It is also well suited to uses like mining, forestry, and archaeology. Its simple to use and works even in the remotest back country since it doesn’t need network connectivity. It allows you to work in UTM or lat/lon coordinates so you can use it with your paper topographic maps. Waypoints and track logs recorded in the field can be be viewed later in Google Earth.

BASE FEATURES:
* Shows current location in easting/northing (UTM) or lat/lon
* Shows speed, direction of travel, and distance travelled in either metric or imperial/US units
* Can store current location as a waypoint, and can store track logs
* Waypoints and track logs can be imported from and exported to Google Earth KML and GPX files
* Allows manual entry of waypoint coordinates in UTM, MGRS or lat/lon
* Custom waypoint symbols
* Can guide you to a waypoint with the “Goto” screen, with optional audible proximity alert
* Has magnetic compass page (devices with mag sensors only)
* Computes local magnetic declination and geoid correction at startup using the IGRF-12 and EGM96 models
* Can display either a simple map of your current location and the stored waypoints, or a Google Map
* Supports the world-wide WGS84 datum along with the Australian datums AGD66, AGD84, GDA94. (You can also use WGS84 for NAD83 maps)
* Shows satellite locations and signal strengths graphically
* Can display simple 6, 8 or 10 digit grid refs, or MGRS grid ref.

* Create a new waypoint by projecting an existing one using an entered distance and bearing.
* Compute length, area, and elevation change for tracklog.
* Offline map support by downloading tiles from map tile servers, or using your own map images.
* Comes complete with an Android Wear version for use on your Android Wear smartwatch.
