What is Handy GPS?

Handy GPS is an outdoor navigation app for Android mobile phones, designed for people who truly love being outdoors, whether it's hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, horseback riding along nature trails, or playing treasure hunts like geocaching. The app doesn't aim to be a car navigation app, but rather a reliable location tool in areas without phone signal, because it uses GPS satellite signals directly, so it doesn't require an internet connection. Simply install the app and turn on GPS on your phone to start your journey. No subscription or complicated settings are required.

The heart of this app is to tell us our exact location. The main screen displays our current coordinates in both latitude and longitude (UTM format), along with altitude, speed, direction, and distance traveled. We can select metric, imperial, or nautical miles units. There's also a compass page for devices with magnetic sensors and a display of satellite signal strength. The altitude readings are already compensated for differences in Earth's surface, making them more accurate than raw satellite figures.

What sets Handy GPS apart from typical location apps is that it helps you mark and return to the same location. When you encounter important points like intersections, campsites, or parked cars, you can instantly save them as waypoints. Alternatively, you can manually enter coordinates in both UTM and MGRS latitude and longitude formats. Then, use the Goto mode to have the app point out the direction and show the distance to that point, with an audible alert when you're approaching your destination. Along the way, the app also records your route as a tracklog for later viewing on a map and calculates the distance and direction between two waypoints. All data can be exported or imported as KML and GPX files, allowing you to open them further on your device. Google Earth Pro Convenient

Another feature that users appreciate is its simplicity. The app works well with paper maps because the coordinates displayed match the system already used by hikers. It also includes a timer to show how long you've been walking and your average speed. Besides outdoor hobbies, this app is also suitable for fieldwork such as surveying, forestry, mining, and archaeology, which require systematically recording locations without having to carry expensive specialized equipment.

Features:

Basic Qualifications

Real-Time Navigation Data. Displays current coordinates, altitude above sea level, speed, direction of movement, and distance traveled. Units of measurement can be switched between metric, Imperial/US, and Nautical.
Waypoint & Track Logging. The current location is saved as a waypoint, and the route is recorded as a track log to show previously traveled locations on the map.
KML & GPX Support. Import and export coordinate and route data together with Google Earth KML files and the international standard GPX files.
Manual Coordinate Entry. Waypoint coordinates can be entered directly in various formats, including UTM grid coordinates, MGRS military coordinates, and latitude/longitude coordinates.
Goto Navigation Tool. The navigation screen points directly to the selected waypoint, with an audible alert set when approaching the destination.
Magnetic Compass. The built-in compass screen works in conjunction with the device's magnetic field sensor to display direction accurately.
Geoid Offset Correction. Automatically calculate geoid offsets for an area to improve the accuracy of elevation above sea level.
Comprehensive Datum Support. Supports the global WGS84 coordinate system, along with the Australian coordinate systems AGD66, AGD84, AMG, GDA94, MGA, and uses WGS84 with NAD83 maps in the United States.
Satellite Signal Graph. This image displays a simulation of GPS satellite positions in the sky, along with a graph showing the real-time signal strength of each satellite.
Grid References. It can display coordinate reference grids in both standard general format and the MGRS military grid system.
Waypoint Calculations. It can directly calculate the distance and direction between one waypoint and another.
Walking Timer & Speed. A timer bar records walking time and calculates the average speed along the route.
Wear OS Companion. Supports the installation of a standalone app version on Android Wear smartwatches to instantly view coordinates on your wrist.
MyTracks Alternative. It's a complete replacement for the old MyTracks app, for both route plotting and storing trip history.
Field Tested. Thoroughly field-tested by the development team on various real-world hiking trails and exploration areas.

Special features in this version.

An ad-free experience. It offers a smooth, full-screen experience with no distracting ads.

Location Sharing. Send your current location coordinates to a friend via email or SMS as a Google Maps link that can be opened immediately.
Direct Export Dispatch. You can send Waypoint and Track Log files in KML or GPX format directly via email from within the app.
Global Datums & Custom Grids. Supports popular datum systems worldwide, including NAD83, OSGB36, NZTM2000, SAD69, ED50, and allows for customization and creation of local datums or grids.
UK Grid References. Displays English grid coordinates as a two-letter alphanumeric code when the OSGB datum system is selected.
Elevation Profile. The cross-sectional elevation graph along the entire route clearly shows the slope and elevation changes.
GPS Averaging Mode. GPS signal averaging mode for calculating coordinates with maximum stability and accuracy.
Geo-Tagged Media & Voice Memos. Capture photos and record audio memos linked to GPS coordinates, then export them as KML files for easy viewing on Google Earth on a computer.
Stamp Coordinates on Photos. Record GPS coordinates and directions into the photo data, or choose to print the coordinate numbers directly into the photo.
Sun Times Display. Displays sunrise and sunset times with precise real-time coordinates.
CSV File Export. Export waypoint and track log data as a CSV spreadsheet file for easy use in Excel.
