Latest reviews of The MGRS UTM Convertor for iPhone app for iPhone and iPad
Being in the military, I thought this would have been a great app to look things up... But it only tells you MGRS for your location. It has a google map feature, but doesnt let you drop a pin on anything or get coordinates for anywhere but your locations. I know where I am!...
The app is a great idea however, after I paid for the app and downloaded it, I found that it is over 300 meters off! I need a GPS that will give an exact ( within 1 meter) location.....I guess you get what you pay for.....
Dont waist your time with this. Does not well. Only gives your current location and most times its not correct. They should just remove it.
It will only give your current location. You cannot try to find another location on the map.
Doesnt update. Since i downloaded it I cant change the initial location. Look at other programs and skip this one.
