Hello

 

Is there an app for Android that will allow me to input a set of co-ordinates and navigate me to them?

 

Thanks

Yes. One's called "Geobeagle" (designed for Geocaching), and another's "Locus Free". I haven't found this feature in the official GC App yet.

In addition to what was mentioned, "GPS Essentials" lets you input coordinates and use the compass page to go to location. It does a lot more.

I typically use GPS Essentials for adding waypoints instead of GeoBeagle. GeoBeagle has the slightly annoying behavior of requiring the GPS to be turned on to add a waypoint. The implication here would be that it is focused more on capturing a waypoint than adding a new one. GPS Essentials will function either way, entering a blank one or capturing the current one. It also lets you put in an offset or projection. If you have GPS Status installed you can edit a target coordinate in radar mode. It is a bit awkward but can serve in a pinch. One of the interesting things about Locus is that you can add a waypoint based on the center of the map being viewed.

My wife and I both have Android-powered phones and have had good luck with "C:Geo-Opensource". I see that the application allows for the input of coordinates, but I'm not sure about actively navigating to that location via the compass. <checks> YEP! Looks like you can input coordinates via the compass screen.

Oruxmap is the best android application

In c:geo you select "any destination" in menu type coordinates and you go. And it's free.

gps status which gives you the radar in the official app does it to.. just edit the point and off you go.

 

there are lots of ways to skin that cat.. .
