MGRS Compass Camera & Offline Maps is a field navigation and photo app that combines a live compass camera, MGRS grid, offline satellite and topographic maps, and low-light visibility enhancement in one tool.
Use the camera to view direction, heading, and coordinate data directly on screen while comparing the scene with the map below. Download map areas by square tiles for offline use, save important locations, and capture photos with navigation data attached.
The app is built for outdoor navigation, terrain reference, travel, field documentation, and low-light scene visibility.
Key Features:
- Live compass camera with heading overlay
- MGRS grid support on the map
- UTM and latitude / longitude coordinate formats
- Offline satellite map downloads by square areas
- Offline topographic map downloads by square areas
- Save marked locations and revisit them later
- Capture photos with coordinates, heading, altitude, date, and time
- Add notes to saved photos
- View saved photos and saved places directly on the map
- True North and Magnetic North modes
- Metric and Imperial units
