About Coordinate Converter APK
Table Of Contents
Description
App AudiencePerfect for SAR, Geo-caching, Aviation, or anyone simply interested in mapping.
App Description
Primarily, this App just performs simple math. More importantly, It first detects which one of the possible formats the coordinate was entered as. This prevents the user from having to spend time tapping between multiple input boxes, or wading through a plethora of configuration options. Once the App determines the input type, it then converts that number into other formats.
App Background
A couple of our developers volunteer with a local Search and Rescue organization and others do the same with an Aero Squadron. It became clear that, even though within a local area, neither group used the same coordinate system.
In most areas, Search and Rescue typically use one GPS coordinate system, while another Search and Rescue Team, Law Enforcement Agency, Fire Department, other First Responder Groups, may use another. However, when this App first became available, it was quickly learned that this problem was not isolated to these teams.
For example, one agency inside any given city / county may use one GPS coordinate system, while another may use something different. Additionally, when one of these agencies travels outside of its local area, they are sure to want to communicate easily with an agency that uses another system.
Of course, there are a multitude of other personal and commercial entities that need to communicate a location in a format different that what it is currently stored in.
Innovative Concepts is proud to offer this free App to help solve this communications hardship...
App Details
Press the "Get Current Location" icon or manually enter any coordinate and this App will convert whatever was entered into other commonly used coordinate formats.
The input boxes auto-detect the entry from the following formats:
✔ Decimal Degrees (D.d) → Enter as 12.345678

✔ Degrees, Minutes, Seconds (D M S.s) → Enter as 12 34 56.78

Upon pressing "Go", the App will convert the coordinates entered into:
✔ Decimal Degrees → 12.345678°

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
