Grid Ref UK and Ireland 2.3

The app enables users to accurately identify their current location within the United Kingdom or Ireland through various grid reference systems.

• Provides GB Grid Reference, Irish Grid Reference, OSGB36, and WGS84 Latitude and Longitude values.
• GB Grid Reference values are utilized on Ordnance Survey (OS) maps throughout Great Britain.
• Irish National Grid values are applicable to Ordnance Survey Ireland and Ordnance Survey Northern Ireland (OSNI) maps.
• Grid references are presented with a precision of three digits.
• The app also displays the accuracy of readings, as indicated by the device's GPS functionality.

Users have the option to share their location via Twitter, adding a social dimension to the app’s functionality.

While the app is designed for use primarily within the British Isles, it can operate internationally. A graphical guide to both the GB and Irish National Grids is included for user convenience.

This application is particularly beneficial for walkers, hikers, and outdoor sports enthusiasts. It is advised that users carry a physical map and compass during outdoor activities for enhanced safety.

For optimal performance, the app should be used in a flat position rather than upright, similar to traditional compasses. Utilizing the app in open areas away from obstructions such as trees or buildings is recommended to minimize interference.

An optional feature allows the screen to remain active for continuous display of Grid Reference information. The app is compatible with devices equipped with GPS hardware, although users may need to grant permission for location access.

It is supported by advertisements; however, users can opt for an in-app purchase to receive 10-figure grid references and remove all ads from the application.
