Grid North

Grid North is offline-first field navigation built around military and survey coordinate systems — not a consumer maps app with a grid bolted on. Made for land navigators, ROTC and cadets, hunters, ranchers, search-and-rescue volunteers, surveyors, and backcountry travelers who need MGRS or UTM and can't count on a signal. CORE NAVIGATION — NO SIGNAL REQUIRED • Live position in MGRS, USNG, UTM, Lat/Long, and OSNG, all on one screen, in large high-contrast type • Multiple datums: WGS 84, NAD 27, OSGB 36, AGD 66, ED 50 • Compass screen with an arrow, bearing, and distance to your destination • Local and Zulu time • A map view with an MGRS/UTM grid overlay, a crosshair for dropping a waypoint on a point you can see, and a ruler tool that snaps to your waypoints WAYPOINTS • Mark your current position, type a coordinate in any supported format, or project a point by distance and bearing • Organize waypoints into named overlays • Hazard, checkpoint, water, rally, campsite, and vehicle categories • Import and export GPX ROUTE PLANNING • Build a multi-stop route in advance • See cumulative distance and elevation, reorder stops • Export as GPX TRACK RECORDING • Record a breadcrumb trail while you move, in the background, with the screen locked • Replay it on the map, export it as GPX • An automatic plain-language trip summary — distance, climb, pace, long stops, and the shape of the terrain — generated entirely on your device ON-DEVICE TRIP INTELLIGENCE • Terrain-aware ETA that accounts for slope, not just straight-line distance • "Optimize for terrain" route suggestions that favor gentle gradients • Hands-free waypoint capture by voice ("mark waypoint, call it OP3"), transcribed on the device — no audio ever leaves your phone • Recurring-hazard flagging when you mark the same danger on more than one trip All of this runs offline. None of it is a subscription. APPLE WATCH • Your current MGRS coordinate, bearing and distance to the active destination, and a Mark Waypoint button, on your wrist PRIVACY Your location, waypoints, routes, and tracks stay on your device and are never uploaded. There is no account and no login. There are no ads, no analytics, and no trackers. LANGUAGES English and Arabic, with full right-to-left layout.
