Initial Impressions: Excellent

Compared to the two GPS apps that I have used often (LandNav and Spyglass), MilGPS immidietly seems superior and best suited for my military training purposes. Readout is HUGE and responsive and I will probably stick with the default look. Maps come up quickly and it was easy to customize (Apple/Google are adequete, but more map choices would be great).
Design layout could be slightly improved by having more intuitive button placements (e.g., Edit Screen is hiding in the Share menu, and cancel button was hard to find on one screen), and maybe a bug: Navigate → Share → Choose Destination Waypoint took me to Overlays (I'm probably missing something).
Ideally, I would like a mini-app to quickly send an 8-digit grid to the clipboard and close, since I share locations often—every step out in the field counts. For my purposes, MilGPS makes sharing an 8-step process (i.e., Open → Share → Share Current Location → Message → Tap x2 in message field → Select All → Isolate MGRS grid → Tap ⌫). MilGPSs is more intuitive than LandNav, but it would be nice to simply 3D touch a readout and send custom data to the clipboard. Future updates perhaps?
Not sure why it took me so long to find this in the App Store. Downloaded USNG first, and then found MilGPS via 'Also by This Developer' in the sidebar.
Kudos to all those who helped develop this app, good job!

Good for military or other uses

This map has a good layout that doesn’t take too long to figure out. It allows you to utilize “overlays” which means you can create permanent overlays that you can always leave on or you can create a new overlay for a training exercise and then turn it off when your done and remove the points. The pay version isn’t expensive a d if you’re going to use it a lot then I would highly recommend paying for it.

Additionally they have multiple shapes and colors you can use to make points unique and you can further specialize them by naming them and adding descriptions.

A cool feature I didn’t realize existed was that you can send overlays you’ve created to people with the map. This means if you’re going into a new training area then someone can send you their overlays or you can help someone out and do the same.

Overall it’s well designed, easy to use and you can get pretty specific with points. There’s also a moveable scale so you can figure out the exact distance and direction between 2 points. Overall I love the app and use it every time I go into the field.

Some features I wouldn’t mind seeing are:

- lines to connect points so that you could construct boundaries. I would use this to form the boundaries of training areas and impact areas.

- the ability to change the direction of the ruler from degrees to Mils.

Excellent Nav App

Awesome app and awesome developer. I only had one issue with the app- and that was when zooming in or out, the map had a tendency to twist- but after a few emails with the developer explaining what I was talking about, he updated it with an option to lock orientation north. Super useful!

Actually, as I type this is thought of another issue. When you tap the icon to center on your location and follow you, it automatically zooms in. It would be nice if there was an option to leave the map at the same zoom level that it’s currently out but still be centered on, and follow, your icon. Sometimes I want to be centered on my own icon but don’t want to be zoomed in super close.

But other than that it’s a great app. I use it every day at work.
