[NLRS] Fwd: Phone app for grids & bearings

[Gary]

I just realized that I only sent the reply to Jon. Here it is to NLRS, 
as others may be interested. We did talk about it at breakfast last 
Saturday.

The only problem I have with HamGPS is that it doesn't give you the 
reverse bearing for the other station to use. Still, just have them add 
180° and let them figure it out.

Hi Jon,

I like HamGPS. If you had asked yesterday I could have demoed it for you.

It shows your Grid to 10 digits. What I like is you can preset the 
target locations from four to 10 digits if you want. To find a site info 
go to the target list and you will see that list of sites you have 
entered, the name /grid square (up to 10 digits), the distance and 
bearing. The main page has a display of the satellites being received 
and a directional arrow to the target. I don't find this arrow very 
useful though. It depends on magnetic compass in the phone. If you need 
to find a bearing to someone not already in the list you just use the 
"set target" on the main screen upper right, then the main screen shows 
what you need.
