Android and Apple GPS "go-to" Apps. Which ones?


Recommended Posts

Hi.

I have the official apps on our iPad and on my Samsung tablet. I also have the official app on my ASUS phone. I have two GPS units, including a Garmin 76CsX.

 

What I would like advice on is an app to use after I have calculated mysteries. That is, once I have worked out ABC DEF and have 31.45.689 and 115.07.710, what apps are available for me to key this in as a "go-to". I have an app on my phone that is a simple GPS so I can walk in the general direction until I am on top of it but I'd prefer something that pointed me there instead of my random wanderings as I narrow the point down.

 

Advice appreciated.

p.s. The two GPS units are back on my boat in Spain at the moment so I can't access them for a while.

You can do that on both official apps.

 

You bring up the cache in question and you add waypoints to it. You can then navigate to the waypoints.

 

I never knew that! I always thought the Waypoints were for where COs put in stuff like "Park in this carpark and walk to xxx" I tried it as soon as I read your post.

 

You learn something every day, eh? :)
