Description
GPS Location shows your current location, date & time to the second along with a scrollable map. Share your coordinates over SMS (text message), email, Twitter, Facebook or Weibo! If you share over email, Twitter or Facebook, GPS Location also attaches a screenshot so you can easily remember what the surrounding area looked like. You can copy your coordinates & locate anything you can find on the map with accurate crosshairs.
Have a telescope that needs your coordinates & the current time? Need to know the coordinates for your hunting stand? Going on a trek and need to find your lat/long? Want to scroll around the world and see where your favorite landmarks are? GPS Location is what you need.
After launch, the map automatically centers on your location. Coordinates of the map's center are shown in three formats (DD-MM-SS.S, DD-MM.MMM and DD.DDDDD). Elevation is shown feet & meters. Your phone's time is shown in Greenwich Mean Time (aka Zulu time). To recenter the map on your location, just hit the crosshairs button.
iPod touches and wifi-only iPads do not have GPSs. These devices will not be as accurate.
The iOS GPSs output in the WGS84 datum. GPS Location display coordinates in WGS84.

What’s New
Version 1.12
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
Thanks for the great feedback. We changed some things to make GPS Location better:
- The share & copy menus on the iPad now work again. Because, you know, they should work.
- In the last version, if you were checking out your awesome GPS Location (that little blue dot) and you moved the map around with your finger, the app turned the GPS off and stopped showing your location. We changed things so that your location is shown whenever it's on the screen. You can still toggle tracking your position with the crosshairs button just like before.
- Fixed a crash snuck into the last version. Before if you went to the share menu then told the app to save a screenshot, the app would crash instead of saving the photo. That's just not right. Fixed!
- Kicked the map crosshairs so that they're in the right spot on the iPad.
Thanks to all our awesome users! Please shoot us an email at support@acceleroto.com if you find any problems.
Ratings and Reviews
Great GPS app
I’ve tried many, and they’re all so bloated with stuff you don’t need. This has the basics down pat. Shows you your gps coordinates out to 5 decimals, and let’s you “move” the crosshairs to a location where you can send someone the location of anywhere you designate…even if you’re not actually there yourself.
However, I downgraded by one star because the heading function uses magnetic north and not true north, with no option to change it (or at least accept the setting on the phone for try north). It’s super great to include that…it’s useful as a compass. But without declination it’s off by 11 degrees or so.
Works good needs better maps
Generally it works well. The map displayed for our house is around 4 or 5 years old.
Used to love this app. But it always freezes in iOS 14
Hi! This app crashes whenever I want to share my location via email or text. Started after had to move to iOS 14. I can no longer choose who I want to share with and hit send them close app. I get weird message about plain text at the top and options are cut off.
I’m so distressed. It is the ONLY one that does everything I need: display digital GPS coordinates in editable form for later copy/paste, create a Google maps link, AND BEDT OF ALL include screenshot with satellite aerial photo so I know where I was! I use this for wildlife species mapping
