Reviews: What People Think About Grid Square Life

I thought it would let be lookup squares but it only does current location.

This is one of those “does one thing and does it right” apps. My only suggestion for improvement is to add more contrast so it can be used outdoors. The display uses white font on a pale blue background, which makes it almost impossible to read in daylight.

What this app does do, it does extremely well. It gives you your grid location down to the full 8 characters of precision.
The map only displays 6 chars and only displays your grid and the 8 that surround it.
There’s no way to search for someone else’s grid locator to easily see where they’re making contact from.
About Grid Square Life
Grid Square Life app displays an 8-symbol Grid Square Locator (a.k.a. Maidenhead Locator, QTH Locator) value calculated based on the geographical coordinates obtained from GPS satellites and mobile network.
Along with your current position, the app will show information about places of interest nearby - radio beacons, lighthouses, national parks and some call signs of the amateurs radio clubs and individual radio amateurs in the area.
In addition, geographic coordinates and altitude information are displayed, as well as a compass for orientation on the terrain.
The distance to your home location will be available after you set (remember) your home location. To do this, you need to use the application Settings tab. You can change it anytime, anywhere.
The relative position of your current square among neighboring squares and the distance to the borders of the square are displayed in an easy-to-understand graphical form - you can see the location of neighboring squares and sub-squares. The labels are highlighted in yellow if you are in a sub-square, which is on the border with a large square. To see more detailed information about the relative position of neighboring squares and your location within the square, you can use:
- Map tab (Internet connection required)
- Grid View tab
The database is loaded during application installation and contains the following topics:
- beacons
- lighthouses
- national parks and reserves
- call signs
and displayed in 3 boxes:
- In this square
- Nearby
- In Grid Square
You can use scrolling to view.
Notice! The "Time" application field shows the time of the last location update (not the current time)
Please be sure to give permission to the app for Location Services to determine your location.
No internet or mobile network connection required except if working with map data.
