Grid Reference
FREE
0.4
1000-5000
27.1 KiB
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
Displays the UK Ordnance Survey Grid Reference based upon your current location. This makes use of the free Jcoord library.

Version 0.4 adds:
- Copying the Grid Reference to the clipboard
- Bug fixes around releasing the GPS when exiting the app
- Ability to run on smaller screens
Grid reference is NOT where you are but the bottom left, west, corner of the grid square. 6 figure reference is a 100M Square so it is accurate
Agree with others, position is out by 150m. Would be perfect but for this
Lovely and simple and would be great if not for the fact that it is very inaccurate
Would be great if it was accurate. Tried in Yorkshire Dales, and it's consistently out by 150m to the west.
Does what it says on the tin.
Very Inaccurate
Does what it says on the tin. However on my Nexus One it keeps the GPS on permanently once I've started the app. The only way to stop it is to reboot.
Works just fine. A refinement would be to able to copy the location to the clipboard for easy pasting elsewhere. Thanks!
Would be great if you could pick a point on a map and get the grid reference for it rather than just having the ref of where you are at that moment
Works very well!!! However used it in the peak district and was out by 50-70m to the east. Anyone else with same discrepancy?
Does what it says on the box, so well
Adam stole my review. It displays the grid reference; what else do you need?
Does exactly what it says on the tin!
Excellent app. Any chance of having option to display 8 & 10 figure grid refs?
No flashes or bangs, just a nice big clear display, ideal don't British weather!
