+AdamandDom Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hello Is there an app for Android that will allow me to input a set of co-ordinates and navigate me to them? Thanks Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment
+EScout Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment
+DougPeterson Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment
+WeBeTNT Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment

+mucek4 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 In c:geo you select "any destination" in menu type coordinates and you go. And it's free. Quote Link to comment
