Description

This app provides a wide variety of GPS and map related tools such as saving locations to exportable lists, convert between coordinate formats, and view different map formats from multiple data sources. These features allow you do do things such as:
--Find GPS coordinates for a location without ever going there.
--Find what is located at a given GPS coordinate.
--Map out a list of locations (such as a hiking route) before heading out.
--Compare map and satellite data from multiple data sources.
--Create location lists and export them into other programs such as Googlė Earth or third-party GPS devices.
--Highlight areas around a location.
--Find a location relative to another location (with a specific distance and bearing).
--Get GPS coordinates, heading/bearing, and distances in nontraditional formats/units.
Locate, view, and convert between GPS coordinates in any of the following formats:
--Decimal degrees,
--Degrees/minutes,
--Degrees/minutes/seconds,
--UTM,
--MGRS,
--USNG.
Other supported units include:
--Distance: Metric (meters/kilometers) and Imperial (feet/miles).
--Heading/Bearing: Degrees (Decimal), radians, and angular mils (NATO).
Manage a collection of GPS points within data files. These data logs can be easily viewed, edited and exported. The following export formats are currently supported:
--Native GPS & Map Toolbox (can be used to transfer data files between iOS devices directly (using wi-fi or bluetooth) or via email)
--Tab delimited,
--Comma separated values (CSV),
--GPX,
--KML,
--KMZ,
--HTML tables.
Additional features include:
--Viewing and saving the current GPS data.
--Converting between GPS coordinates and physical addresses.

What's New in Version 2.2.1

This update fixes a few bugs in the 2.2.0 update:
-Fixed a map scrolling issue where swiping to the right (in iPad portrait mode) would open the Data Log list
-Fixed the GPS location map overlays (on the iPad) so they display properly on startup.
A major update is coming soon with a lot of new features! Stay tuned!

Updating? Caution purchasing.

My iPad is saying this app will not work with future versions of iOS. I would recommend not purchasing this app until the author(s) commit to keeping it up-to-date.
That said the app works really good and would recommend buying this app as long as the author will keep it updated.

Can I give it no stars

I used this app just testing it out on a hike in a county park that has USNG markers posted for when you call 911 and the app is was off by 3/4 of a mile to a mile!!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS!!!

Very useful, too bad it locks up

Perfect for my use, determining a 200 foot radius circle around structures for brush clearance (fire insurance requirement). Put a pin on the structure, set the radius, then walk around the edge of the circle staking it out. I'd give it 5 stars but it has locked up a few times in the couple of days I've been using it. That's a nuisance, but the app still gets the job done.

Excellent, But....

I got this app right after it came out, and have loved it ever since. But....!
Why can't the satellite maps be updated?
I have new facilities in my fire response area that aren't on the maps, but are on other mapping programs.
I have Blue Pins designating structures, that are sitting in the middle of large grassy fields.
If at all possible, please update the maps!
Thank you!!!

Not for KML or KMZ

I should have read deeper in, but assumed it would display maps in KML format. I was planning on hiking and found a trail map for importing. So was disappointed when it could not. I found "KML KMZ GPS” did the job.

Really Excellent

I was hesitant to buy this app since it hasn't been updated recently. It runs without a problem on my iPad Air 2, iOS 9.2, however.
Everything I want is there; I just needed to get familiar with the app. A little clicking on the varius features and I was good to go.
I'm very pleased with it and recommend it to anyone who just wants to do some casual location mapping without taking a course in GIS.

Very inaccurate

Elevation numbers are very inaccurate . Locked up all day trying to locate elevation changes for irrigation project in SC.
At Daytona Beach FL now and did a current location check . Showed elevation of 87ft. I'm 5 ft above sea level!!!!

Bookmarks for Offline Use

Need user-friendly way to create KMZ files to use in the offline app MAPS.ME. This is necessary because if its limited search capability. Need the offline app feature because I’ll be traveling in EU with no data service on my iPhone. In this way, GPS Toolbox serves as an excellent trip planning tool. Works great now that I figured out the user instructions are located in “Settings/Help”
5 star SUGGESTION: provide a link to a downloadable pdf file for HELP information ~ perhaps you could call it USER MANUAL :)

Awesome

I work for a Fire Rescue department, and use this app to log hydrant and building locations within my jurisdiction. It is an amazing tool, allowing myself and crews to make critical response decisions en route to calls. It also utilizes USNG for land navigation as an option, which is the nav system we use. The app allows me to quickly see the building I am going to, the nearest hydrants, satellite view of terrain and objects, utility shutoff points, and with the touch of a button go to google maps for turn by turn driving navigation. It also has a built-in conversion button for converting USNG to degrees/min/sec for giving aircraft landing coordinates. Amazing.

Works great

Solid app that does it's job. I use it to document site locations like utility poles. Wish I could sync between different mobile devices. Export to Google Earth works well.

GPS Toolbox

I Just Got Couple Days Ago Still Figuring All That It Does But So Far Very Happy I Work in Waterworks And Do LineSpots For My Company, It Works Well And Is Pretty Precise I Pitted It Against A Garmin GPS Handheld And GPS Toolbox Performed Better Than I Figured For $2.99 Worth Every Penny!!

Best Useful App

I am a commercial driver and I have used this app for 3 years. It makes my navigating to specific points so much easier and precise. I can easily add via points in my gps without knowing an address.

Does not import KML files

I bought this app because I thought it would allowed me to import KML files that I created using google maps. This app will only export KML files.

Best mapping app

I'm a professional motor coach operator. I drive a lot of elite passengers such as college and professional sports and members of congress. This is my primary mapping and trip planning app. The satellite view allows me to see my target destination so I know whether a 50 foot bus will fit. Data logs allow me to store places I have been for future reference. I have over 300 stadiums and arenas stored for instant recall. For mapping and trip planning I haven't found a better or more functionally comprehensive app.

Great app for LEOs

This a great app for Law Enforcement. I use this guy instead of our department's PC app on our Toughbooks because it is so much easier to use.
Though i havnt figure out how to measure distances for pursuits. I only can measure straight line "as the crow flies" distances.
I always use this app for getting lat and lon for incident location, traffic stops, collision reports, and referencing the lat and lon to plug in to my gps for navigation.
I use the data logs to set up quick reference or hot spots for later use so i dont have to search for the address.
I do admit it was a little confusing at first without looking through a turtorial and Im sure there are other capabilities i havent figured out yet but it is a great app so far. Ive highly recommended throughout my department.
i have nothing further...

Extremely useful

I live by this app. Find your spot and drop a pin, input title, description and additional information as needed. Export to other devices on different formats. I don really use the conversion tools, but for remembering particular areas, spots or limits it is great.

Great App for what you pay

I have owned and used this app extensively for nearly a year and can attest I have received my monies worth many times over. It is not very expensive and I have found it to be very useful and user-friendly for a 48 year old farmer. It works well out in the boonies of South Dakota.

Good app start

It crashes when you switch map sources. Also the Bing maps are locked so you can not change you viewing direction..view from N or from the south. It would also be nice to add other map sources that are out on the Internet so that you can compare data as some map databases are newer or easier to decipher than others.

Garbage - don't buy

Does little. Thought it could import Google map data - nope.
Useless program.

Be Warned

The ap only understands UTMs in NAD83. Just about every USGS map you might find will be in the NAD27 datum. This critical limitation prevents using the ap to support my real world Search and Rescue missions; you can't ever exchange data with anyone else.

Awesome!!

Love the app & what it does. I just wish it could work with the GPS satellites rather than from cell phone towers to know your location. Most of the places we go has poor or no cell phone reception.

Yes!!

This app is extremely useful! I am a project manager and I have inspectors working for me on many projects. The assignment of new projects to my inspectors always starts with who has other projects closest to the new project. This app allows me to enter the projects my inspector are working on so that in one glance, I am able to see which inspector is working on project where. I use the different pin colors to designate the inspectors.
I have a couple of suggestions that would make this app even better and earn it 5 stars:
1. We need more color selections for the pins.
2. There needs to be an option to display information in all data logs on the map or the ability to choose and display multiple data logs.
3. Add more objects for the places to use besides pins, although this is not critical.

Highly recommend to anyone needing to create and work with .gpx and .kml files among others.
Only one suggestion so far.
Ability to import .gpx and .kml files, which the developer is currantly working on.
Thanks for a great app.

Just What I was looking for - Thanks

I was looking for an app that allowed me to place inspection points on a map around structures. On Day One - This app allowed me to do everything I wanted and tagged the points with GPS within a few feet.
Can't wait to see what I can do once I learn how to use it.

Land nav / coordinate generation

Great App, I've only briefly started using it. But at first glance it does everything I was looking for: convert coordinate formats, distance & bearing, set waypoints with descriptions.
Things I'd like to see in future versions: ability to choose between magnetic north and true north for bearing calculations (and display them as a map feature even if working on another item), more distance and coordinate systems, ability to display multiple distance formats at the same time (i.e. Elevation in feet and meters), and lastly the ability to hard set distances (i.e. I only want to see distance in nautical miles even if measurement is less than 1 nm, or meters even if greater than 1km).
Overall great program I look forward to future updates. Highly recommended!!

This app saved my bacon last night

My topo programs won't overlay google maps and google earth doesn't seem to let you even drop a point!
This app does both and is a valuable connector for exporting, converting, or deciding on coordinates!
Our 15 person trip was saved by buying this app in a last ditch effort.

Phenomenal

Combines many of the various functionalities of Google Earth and Google Maps, smoothly and seamlessly.
I effectively replaced my Garmin, lost hiking in the woods, with this app. Not only have I not regretted this decision, I'm actually happier with this app than I was with my $200 GPS device. It simply does everything I need it to and more. Great being able to enter detailed descriptions of all waypoints, too, rather than being limited to six characters. Even better, two of the three issues I had with it were fixed with the last update. Fantastic.

Great App!

I have never written a review but had to for this app! Great tools for retail real estate site selection...takes the place of my yellow pad and scattered notes. Only wish I could take a photo that stored with each location I created!
