Hello everyone,
I am a new member to GPAA and anxious to get down to Arizona this winter and work some of the claims. So I have been spending a lot of time looking over different maps and satellite views to try to pick out areas that look like places I would like to try and mark them. My problem was every map resource I looked at used a different GPS format. That added a lot of extra work and brain drain going from one format to another. Then I thought they should have an app to convert the different formats. They actually have quite a few. I tried a couple of the free apps, but didn't like them. So then I started looking at the apps you have to pay. I read over the information on them and decided to try one that cost $1.99. Many are quite a bit more than that. The app is called: Coordinate Converter, by Ison Developments. So far I love this app. You can enter your coordinates in any format and it automatically converts it into all formats. It has a map at the top that when you touch it, it will show you exactly were it is on the map. The app does other things too and I need to check it out more. So if the different GPS formats are confusing, you might like to look at the coordinate converter apps.
