Easy to use no adverts. Get warning as uses older android but no problems. Has more cluttered emails than free version, like empty title line on free one. Grid reference unlike free and other apps has single spaces which means you can paste into other apps without having to delete spaces.

Grid ref works ok but the on screen compass never points to north, always seems to be about 90deg out.

Seems pretty accurate when checked against other GR finders. I like the fact that it gives an accuracy estimate. Very good value. Peter.

A great app and the OS Coordinates work well but for some reason the compass doesn't work. Not sure if this can be fixed or if it's due to my phone.

Excellent app. Would be even better if there was the option to show grid reference to just 4 figures (5 is over-kill when using OS maps: slows things down).

pretty well perfect for me. a grid ref, and compass bearing, and a very fair price. I survey trees for the Ancient Tree Inventory, and this is a great help. thank you!

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

App will operate internationally, but the "Grid Reference" information is intended for use in Great Britain, mainland UK, using Ordnance Survey / OS Maps. App includes a graphical guide to the OS 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.
