Inaccurate. Eastings about 50m too low and northings about 25m too high relative to my Garmin. I ran it off a tablet without a mobile phone sim, so getting the location from mobile masts was not the issue.

Elegant addition to paper maps.

The purpose of this app is to provide your grid position. All locations that I checked against known grid references and against an expensive garmin gps unit were not correct. Please refund my money!

For those days in fog, or storm, or whiteout when you need to know your precise location on a map, this app works. Worth 10 times the price for the peace of mind.

About this app

Find out where you are on the Irish Grid Reference System, anywhere in Ireland or Northern Ireland, to help pinpoint your current whereabouts on a map.

App Provides: Grid Ref, OSGB36 and WGS84 Latitude and Longitude values, and a current Compass Bearing.

The Accuracy of Readings, as indicated by your device, will also be shown.

Irish Grid Ref Compass - Your GPS Grid Reference Finder App!

App will operate internationally, but the "Grid Reference" information is intended for use on the Island of Ireland, using Ordnance Survey Ireland or Ordnance Survey Northern Ireland (OSNI) OS Maps. App includes a graphical guide to the Irish National Grid.

Ideally suited for use by walkers, hikers and outdoor sports enthusiasts. It is recommended that you should always carry a map and physical compass when on outdoor pursuits.

For best results, use in a flat position, not an upright position. Much like a traditional compass. Use in an open space, where possible, away from trees, buildings and sources of interference.

The screen can, optionally, be set to stay on, for continued on-screen display of Grid Reference information.

Share your Location Information / Grid References via Text Message, Email, or Tweet*

Compatible with handsets that feature GPS and Compass hardware. You may have to grant the app permission to use this information.

* - Internet Connection, and correctly configured Text Messaging, Email app, required to fulfil. Tweet Functionality will either use the official Twitter App (if installed), or proceed to Twitter.com in your web browser.
