Pros and cons of Land Nav Assistant app for iPhone and iPad

Land Nav Assistant app good for

Punch in the grid and your off. Gets you were your going with ease. Would recommend to anyone for assistance with land Nav.

Used this both before deployment and during. Works really well. Was able to pull up coordinates faster than my dagr, and got me to every point I needed.

Would like to edit points and change colors of pins. 5 stars.

Some bad moments

Almost perfect accuracy. Simple and easy to use. I sprinted through my last land nav course and got 5 out of 5.

From my experience as a scoutmaster, land surveyor, and youth leader-- this is a great app for simple, reliable and accurate navigation outdoors or to off the grid locations Google Maps cant find.

Works great on the division land nav course on ft Campbell, ky

While the app does work, a 10 digit grid is actually an 8 digit grid when you have to input the grid designator. 8 digit gets you within 100m of your point. Which in thick forest looking for a specific point, a white ammo can in this case, is useless. If it was a true 10digit gps, this would be the best land nav app out there.

This app worked flawlessly for me. 8 digit grids are actually within 10m not 100 as a previous review stated (hence the reason it says accurate within 10m) and if you cant find a point standing within 10m of it, thick forest or not, then there isnt much hope for you anyway! Great app, love the feature where you can press on your points and it gives an arrow pointing where you need to go and how many meters left. Does exactly what it says no more no less.

Theres no other app out there like this one. Just plug in ur grid of where your at and the grid of where you need to be and it literally tells you the azimuth u need to walk and for how long. And u can always change the grids at anytime! Devs if this app could get any better than what it is ie.( show line on Map from the different points to give us a better sound picture of a visual of how long the two or more points are from each other would be cool) as an option! All in all I recommend this to everyone!
