UK + Ireland Grid Reference 4+

Get the Grid Ref Compass apps for use anywhere in the UK or Ireland.

GB Grid Ref Compass is for use in Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales)
Irish Grid Ref Compass is for use on the Island of Ireland (Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland)

Find out your current location on your paper map.

These apps will give you your Grid Ref, along with a Compass Bearing and Latitude and Longitude values in both OSGB36 and WGS84 formats.

The accuracy of the Device GPS signal will also be shown.

Includes a handy graphical guide to the "National Grid" (GB or Ireland) system.

Whilst the apps will work worldwide, the values given will only be of use within the United Kingdom or Ireland.

Ideal for use on walks. Always carry a map and physical compass in addition to your iPhone.

For the best accuracy, use in an open space, away from trees or hill edges.

Like a traditional compass, use with the phone in a flat position, not upright.

When continued usage is required, you can set the iPhone Screen to stay on indefinitely, from the Settings tab.

Send or Share your location information in a Text Message (or iMessage), Email or Tweet*

This app requires Location Services to be enabled in your iPhone, and you must grant permission to the app to use these.

Compatible with iPhone. Not compatible with iPod Touch, iPad, or earlier iPhones (due to the lack of GPS and Compass hardware).

* - Internet Connection, and correctly configured Text Message (or iMessage), Email and / or Twitter settings, required to fulfil.
