About this app

My GPS Location provides you with the best available location, based on geolocation data from all currently-available location providers such as GPS and Wi-Fi. The app is ideal for all activities that need real-time GPS coordinates, for example, geocaching, sailing or field work. Also in astronomy and astrophotography, precise location information is crucial for optimizing telescope alignments and capturing the perfect celestial shot. My GPS Location is divided into three different tabs:

The OVERVIEW tab shows detailed information from the location sensors in real-time: latitude and longitude, altitude, accuracy, speed and bearing. Several formats are available for displaying the coordinates, e.g. decimal degrees or UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator). Length units can be displayed in meters or feet. Supported speed units are m/s, ft/s, km/h, mph or kn (knots).

The MAP view lets you easily discover what's nearby and see places you've previously saved, e.g. the fantastic spot from your last vacation, the anchorage from the last sailing or just the place where you parked your car. You can add new places by a long tap on the map. To move a place on the map, just make a long tap on it and drag it to its new position. All common map types such as road map and satellite are supported.

In the PLACES section, you can save, edit or delete your favorite places and check how far they are away from your current position. This is very handy if you want to know the distance from home when on a trip. Distance is defined using the WGS84 ellipsoid.

From anywhere within the app, you can easily share your current position data via your preferred messaging app. Your friends receive your GPS coordinates and a link to Google Maps with your position on it. In case of emergency, you can send an SMS with your GPS location, even if no data connection is available. Additionally, you can copy your GPS coordinates to the clipboard and paste them into map applications, chats or emails. Whether in an emergency, while traveling, geocaching, sailing, stargazing, astrophotography, or if you just need your UTM coordinates, with this location app you can always reliably see your current coordinates from GPS and save your location so you can find it again anytime.

Ratings and reviews

Fails with no connection. It doesn't give a coordinates anymore unless there's an internet connection. This makes it impossible to use in remote areas that don't have any connectivity. Bad change, looking for something else now.

This app gives a far more accurate location and elevation than my Garmin GPS unit, well by about 20 feet. I really haven't tested it out under tree cover yet and quite honestly the accuracy is more based on the technology in my cell phone but anyhow, the terrain setting is great if you're I to the outdoors. Though the elevation lines on the terrain map do disappear as I zoom in, still not a big deal. The ads are of an exceptible size as well. Great simple little app.

MY GPS Location does exactly what it says, simply and effectively, allowing you to share your location in various ways. The developer is extremely helpful and responsive, I did have a problem with a "br" ending added to the link when opening, but this is NOT the fault of the app, it was with my email client app, as when I used, for example Gmail, it worked perfectly. It is nice to see developers responding positively, as many seem to ignore problems - well done!
