Description

Find out where you are on the Irish Grid Reference System, anywhere in Ireland or Northern Ireland, to help pinpoint your current whereabouts on a map.

Irish Grid Ref Compass - Your GPS Grid Reference Finder App!

App will operate internationally, but the "Grid Reference" information is intended for use on the Island of Ireland, using Ordnance Survey Ireland or Ordnance Survey Northern Ireland (OSNI) OS Maps. App includes a graphical guide to the Irish National Grid.

Ideally suited for use by walkers, hikers and outdoor sports enthusiasts. It is recommended that you should always carry a map and physical compass when on outdoor pursuits.

For best results, use in a flat position, not an upright position. Much like a traditional compass. Use in an open space, where possible, away from trees, buildings and sources of interference.

The screen can, optionally, be set to stay on, for continued on-screen display of Grid Reference information.

Share your Location Information / Grid References via Text Message, Email, or Tweet*

Compatible with handsets that feature GPS and Compass hardware. You may have to grant the app permission to use this information.

* - Internet Connection, and correctly configured Text Messaging, Email app, required to fulfil. Tweet Functionality will either use the official Twitter App (if installed), or proceed to Twitter.com in your web browser.

A sister app is available for use in Great Britain. Please search for GB Grid Ref Compass.

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.

5 ★Elegant addition to paper maps.
1 ★The purpose of this app is to provide your grid position. All locations that I checked against known grid references and against an expensive garmin gps unit were not correct. Please refund my money!
5 ★For those days in fog, or storm, or whiteout when you need to know your precise location on a map, this app works. Worth 10 times the price for the peace of mind.
