Re: [PSAS] GPS programs for phones
GPS and iPhone uses decimal degrees: http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/019163.html Use negative values for western/southern hemispheres. Works fine for me. -Alan On Fri, Oct 15, 2010 at 1:27 PM, ~Me ctr...@gmail.com wrote: For Android, the best program I have found is called GPS Essentials and can be found in the market.

[PSAS] GPS programs for phones
For Android, the best program I have found is called *GPS Essentials* and can be found in the market. (its a blue background icon with a black satellite in the middle.) There is also a program called Geocaching Tools that will convert Lat. Long. DMS - UTM which could be useful.
