Grid Square Life

Grid Square Life app displays an 8-symbol Grid Square Locator (a.k.a. Maidenhead Locator, QTH Locator) value calculated based on the geographical coordinates obtained from GPS satellites and mobile network.

Along with your current position, the app will show information about places of interest nearby - radio beacons, lighthouses, national parks and some random callsigns of the amateurs radio clubs and individual radio amateurs in the area.

In addition, geographic coordinates and altitude information are displayed, as well as a compass for orientation on the terrain.

The distance to your home location will be available after you set (remember) your home location, or any other location you wish use as a starting point for distance mesurements. To do this, you need to use the application Settings tab. You can change it anytime, anywhere.
