It's Great! bought it! I have not found a better one to suite my needs. I wish it had a coordinate search feature. I going to send an email to developer. Unless I'm missing something?

The perfect companion for your next outdoor adventure. Seek, find, record and return home with Handy GPS.This app is a powerful navigation tool designed for outdoors sports like hiking, bushwalking, tramping, mountain biking, kayaking, boating, horse trail riding, geocaching. Its also useful for surveying, mining, archaeology, and forestry applications. Its simple to use and works even in the remotest back country since it doesnt require network connectivity. It allows you to work in UTM or lat/lon coordinates so you can even use it with your paper maps.BASE FEATURES:* Shows your current coordinates, altitude, speed, direction of travel, and distance travelled in metric, imperial/US, or nautical units.* Can store your current location as a waypoint, and record a track log to show where youve been on a map.* Data can be imported from and exported to KML and GPX files.* Allows manual entry of waypoints in UTM, MGRS and lat/lon coords.* Can guide you to a waypoint using the "Goto" screen, and optionally sound an alert when when youre getting close.* Has a compass page which works on devices with magnetic field sensors.* Automatically computes the local geoid offset to improve altitude accuracy* Supports the world-wide WGS84 datum along with the common Australian datums and map grids (AGD66, AGD84, AMG, GDA94, and MGA). You can also use WGS84 for NAD83 maps in the US.* Shows GPS satellite locations and signal strengths graphically.* Can display simple or MGRS grid references.* Can compute waypoint-to-waypoint distance and direction.* Includes an optional timer line to record walk duration and compute your average speed.* Thoroughly tested by the developer on many off-track walksEXTRA FEATURES IN THIS VERSION:* No ads, no subscriptions, and nothing more to pay after your initial purchase.* Unlimited number of waypoints and track log points.* Email or SMS your location to a friend as a clickable map link.* Email your waypoints and tracklogs as KML or GPX file.* Supports common datums such as NAD83 (US), OSGB36 (UK), NZTM2000 (NZ), SAD69 (South America) and ED50 (Europe), and you can configure your own custom datums, including local grid systems.* UK grid refs with two letter prefixes can be shown if OSGB datum selected.* Elevation profile.* GPS averaging mode.* Take photos and record voice memos, geo-located with KML files for easy viewing on a PC.* Geo-tag photos, and/or have the coordinates and bearing "burnt" into the image.* Sun rise and set times.* Export data to CSV file.* Create waypoint by triangulation, or projecting using an entered distance and bearing.* Compute length, area, and elevation change for tracklog.* Offline map support by downloading tiles from map tile servers, or using own map images.* Compute calories.* Optional background image.* Optional location sharing on web.* Spoken distance and direction guidance on goto page.PERMISSIONS: (1) GPS, to show your location, (2) Network access, to load maps, (3) SD card access, to load and store waypoints, (4) Camera access, for taking pics, (5) Prevent phone from sleeping, so proximity alarm works, (6) Control flashlight, to allow flashlight use, (7) Record audio for voice memos.DISCLAIMER: You use this app at your own risk.

Bug fixes.37.7: Added paste option when manually entering coordinates.37.6: Improved speed of offline maps. Sort files correctly in file browser. Long-press on compass page to show "held" bearing.

Reviews
Greas simple GPS plotter. The zoom on simple map is too agressive though if you have waypoints very far apart. Is there an app to link to Samsung Gear Sport watch?
was good enough then they updated changed completely and deleted my waypoints
Great app. Very useful.
sweet and easy love it and recommend it. free version is good, paid version is great. good on or off road and i drive a wrangler so i know. even lets me save unmarked trails that I've traveled. two thumbs up. i haven't gotten lost yet so that's got to be a plus. i enjoy it hope you do too.
how do i download gps waypoints from my email address it works easy on iphone but cant seem to get it to work on android phones
Great software and getting better all the time, very diligent Dev. Years down the track, it's still being updated.
