Whether you're a seasoned hiker, a military professional, or an outdoor enthusiast, this app offers a wide range of features to help you navigate efficiently and confidently.

Key Features and Capabilities

The Land Nav Assistant accepts •MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) or •Latitude / Longitude coordinates, allowing users to input points in various formats such as 8-digit or 10-digit MGRS, decimal degrees, or D:M:S format with directional indicators. This flexibility ensures compatibility with different navigation standards used by military, marine, and civilian users.

Once coordinates are entered, the app visually guides you toward each point, displaying real-time data such as distance, direction, speed, and bearing. Navigation can be conducted using a simple arrow interface or a map view that allows for intuitive movement tracking.

Input and Map Interaction

Users can easily add locations by long-tapping on the map or inputting data directly. The app supports multiple map modes including Satellite, Terrain, Road, and Basic Topographic Maps, providing a comprehensive visual context for navigation.

Overlay tools such as a 1000m or 100m MGRS Grid enable precise positioning and planning. Additionally, you can plan routes by ordering points or utilizing the course optimization tool, which calculates the shortest and most efficient path.

Advanced Navigation Tools

The app allows you to obtain distance/direction data between any two points with a simple tap, and provides the ability to export your locations as spreadsheets for sharing or offline use. For bulk location management, users can import large sets of data via the web utility available at Gammon Applications Land Navigation Import.

Versatile Input Formats and Display Options

You can choose to display your location data in multiple formats: MGRS 10-digit, MGRS 8-digit, or LatLon Decimal. Input formats also include DD:MM:SS, with default compass directions set to North and West, ensuring precise and flexible coordinate entry.

Remember, Land Navigation is a critical skill that requires practice and proficiency. It is strongly advised not to solely rely on this app while learning navigation techniques. Always maintain situational awareness of your surroundings, especially when in unfamiliar or remote areas.
