I can't seem to find settings to change the units.

You can change the units by performing the device specific "menu" behavior on your wearable. On some devices this is a dedicated button that says "menu", but most devices it is activated by long pressing the "up" button. It could also be a long press of another button. If you press the "Contact Developer" button and send me your exact device type I can give you better instructions. Thanks!

Had this app on my Forerunner 55. Upgraded to Epix Gen 2 and app was not available for my new watch. Emailed developer and within 24 hours he had uploaded an update. It struggled to install at first and after discussion with developer he said it could take a while after first updating. Got it installed and Love it. I use it with different formats for military flying. Thanks for great app.

I enjoy the app but would really love to see a dual gps data field option. The built in garmin one does this but only one of the formats is customizable. I need mgrs on top and dd mm ss on bottom. An option to select two from the list would make this app perfect.

UK user here, also called Andrew. Coordinates of all formats - including OS grid reference - appear to match location with other map sources. (noting previous reviewer with same name who was struggling with it)

If you are UK DON'T install this... No matter where I have tried this. if it is set to osgb the grid ref is on average 300m INCORRECT... but as much as 500m... And the same with altitude on average it is 50m incorrect and as much as 90m..NO idea if it is ok on any other formats.which is why my warning is to UK only. I know the dev has worked hard to make this but if you like me and need reliable info at a glance this app is NOT FOR YOU.. All information it displayed was check on a paper map and compared with a Garmin Oregon 650 and 750, Also was compared with Watches own widgets etc and similar app/widgets which showed the correct information

Sorry you are having trouble. If you can send me the values of the "Degrees" mode (which come straight from the Garmin Positioning API) and the OSGB coordinates at the same physical location I can look into it. If "Degrees" looks wrong for your physical position it may be an issue with your device or GPS signal. For the altitude, that value also comes directly from the Garmin Positioning API, there are no conversions. It is using the GPS altitude (not barometric) as the app is designed to only show GPS provided information.

Works well on my forerunner! I’d wish that you could be able to see the time as well the grids. Now I have to cancel the app to see time and restart it again.

This can be a live saver if you'd need to call a search and rescue team and have no idea where you actually are!

The vivoactive doesn't have access to Goa sensor The app need to activate it when you launch it otherwise it will never work
