Hi all,
I am after an android app that calculates a grid reference of a point given a distance and bearing. Having spent a lot of time in past hunts searching for an animal shot from an adjacent ridge, I was wondering if an app existed that allowed me in to input a distance (measured from my range finder) and a compass bearing in order to give me a grid reference I can use to guide me on to a shot animal.
Thanks,
Cant you just use a regular map and plot the bearing on that?
Most Garmin GPS will do that. Project waypoint IIRC.
Yep, you've got it. Just gotta make sure the internal compass is calibrated first.Quote:

I just take my labrador... amazing how good they are when they know a big feed of liver is on the cards

When you generate a grid reference it will need to be projected onto something, be it a GPS or a regular map. I think you're over complicating this.Quote:
