+ Advanced target/waypoint editor. Can be also used as a coordinates converter. You can use map to check or set waypoint location and add photo or audio note.
+ Share your location via email, text message, Facebook or Twitter. This includes UTM, MGRS and Latitude/Longitude (MENU>Share my location).
+ Yep, you can use UTM, MGRS or Lat/Long, just pick your preference in the settings (Coordinate Format).
+ Speedometer. Shows you the speed and pace. Speedometer also gives you options to control average and max speed and pace counters (MENU > RESET and PAUSE/RESUME counters).
+ Compass. Instant reaction compass, no delays. Automatically pickups the direction based on magnetic or GPS course. If you mostly walk or drive, you can change this automatic mode in app settings > Compass or GPS course. NATO mils? Same place in settings to set.
+ Sunset and sunrise. So you can plan your travel better.
+ Arrow pointing to your target waypoint. Distance and bearing to it.
+ Export/share waypoints into Google Earth KML or KMZ, GPX or a simple Garmin csv formats.
All above belongs to a basic version. PRO Pack upgrade will add following capabilities:
+ Recording and sharing GPS tracks.
+ Moving waypoints between folders.
+ Showing ETA to a target as this requires GPS tracking.
+ Native Google map with fantastic terrain map, amazing 3D and real night mode.
+ Adding own/custom tile map servers.
+ Downloading offline maps.
+ GPX import and export for waypoints, tracks and routes.
+ Export waypoints and tracks into Google Earth KML/KMZ or GPX.
+ BACKGROUND MODE. App will work in background automatically when tracking. You can use other apps while Land Nav 55 does its job in the background!
+ PRIVACY. Land Nav 55 never shares your location data with 3rd parties or ad agencies. Location data is used solely for telling you direction to a target and recording the GPS tracks and never leave the app unless you decide to share by means of a track export. It always let you know when background mode is on and never runs in background unless the track is being recorded.
! You can use this app on your iPhone as well as on any cellular iPad. **App will not work properly on iPods and wifi only iPads as they don't have GPS (external GPS module is required). As quite a lot of us are using external GPS modules, app is available for wifi only iPads and iPods.
! Please note that as with all GPS apps, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Absolutely love this app. I mainly use this app for when I’m riding side by sides. I ride in over 50 thousands acres of land and it’s very easy to get turned around after you’ve consumed a few adult beverages. This app helps me get myself and others back to there camps safely!. The offline maps are awesome to be able to download. The only thing is there are a lot of settings and modes and I’m still learning it which isn’t a bad thing! I want to be able to use the full potential of the app! I’ve been using it for just over a year! RIDE ON,
The best gps for hiking and anything outdoors

Almost all of the gps apps you see for outdoors all claim to have a ton of features, but require a yearly or monthly fee to use them. This app covers everything you need for a one time price and it is cheap. Will literally do everything you need it to. I tested during a land nav course and the gps accuracy while inputting points was spot on.
Working Great

I have used it a few times driving some bike routes and in my Xmr out in the middle of no where (central Florida). It does take a little bit to learn the interface, but once you do it is a pretty cool app. and has saved me from being lost one of those times out at the ranch. Definitely recommended.
no family sharing for pro version
Harold
very disappointing that pro purchase is not shared via family sharing [update] increased rating from 1 to 3 stars due to helpful comment provided by dev team
Love the offline maps

Good app. Haven't had a chance to really test it out, but like the features so far. I love being able to download maps for offline use. Wish there was more variety to download through the app, but what is available is good. Had a small bug I reported and was fixed within a day. Great support from creator.
Not usable

Sorry this app doesn’t work for me, even with the added features that I bought. I don’t have full time WiFi so I have use a hot spot so it never shows my exact location. I can’t blame the app. It’s just my situation.
