The MapTool converts coordinates among different datums, coordinate systems, and map projections. It also calculates the distance and bearing between two coordinates. Map Tools supports coordinate systems and map projections for 232 datums, including WGS84, NAD27, NAD83, ED50, OSGB36, EGSA87, AGD66, AGD84, GDA94, NZGD2000, NZGD1949, and many more. All datums are now accessible in the app without any additional purchases. Users can input locations manually or obtain them using their device's GPS, and these locations can be viewed on the embedded map. The following coordinate systems are available for selection as either the source or target coordinate system: * Geodetic (latitude and longitude) * MGRS * UTM/UPS * USNG * Georef * Map Grid Australia (MGA) with GDA94 Datum * British National Grid with OSGB36 Datum * New Zealand Transverse Mercator 2000 (NZTM2000) * New Zealand Map Grid (NZMG) with NZGD49 Datum * Swiss Grid with CH1903 Datum * Greek Grid with EGSA87 Datum * Singapore TM with SVY21 Datum

Excellent converter

Works great for zone 10S at least. Be aware of which UTM grid this app uses and make sure it's applicable to your needs. Having said that, it's a great program! Very handy if you are working with GIS data.

Okay for what it does, but...

It might deserve 3 stars if (1) coordinates could be entered by use of the map, similar to marking a location with a drop pin in the Maps app, and (2) the app included 1 additional datum for the base price. USGS topo maps are referenced to the NAD27 CONUS datum, and that datum is the only one I use. I spent the additional $2.99 for the datum converter add-on before discovering the Topo Maps app, which is far more suitable for my use.

Not useful for what it is sold as.

I purchased this app to covert from WGS84 to NAD83 and NAD83 degrees, minutes, decimal seconds to NAD83 degrees, deciaml minutes. Didn't expect to have to pay another $2.99 to get the other datums to use it. Unless all your working with is WGS84, don't bother.

You have to pay an additional three dollars to get the extra app to convert coordinates between datums. They were being tricky.
