Description

Convert OS to Lat Long is a simple Android app which does an offline conversion of Landranger OS coordinates to Latitude Longitude. It is aimed for use principally by hill-walkers and ramblers. Starting points for walks in Britain are usually specified in OS coordinates. Car sat-navs tend to accept Lat Longs but not OS Coordinates.

Once installed on the Android device, the app is simplicity itself to use, just key the OS Coordinates into the text box (the 2 letter prefix is not case sensitive) and press Convert. The Coordinate will then be displayed as a Lat Long. If the coordinate entered is not valid then an error message will be displayed.

It may be noted that there is an approximate 50m difference for any given coordinate, in the Lat Long produced by the app and that produced by the Streetmap website. The Streetmap website appears to take the mid-point between the specified Landranger coordinate and the next value up (ie: SU123456 would be 123.5 & 456.5). The app just takes the coordinate as specified by the user (ie: 123.0 & 456.0).

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.

5 ★Great bit of kit. just need to be able to output to google maps or even to the clipboard and then we can navigate to the position we just translated.
5 ★Perfect for converting UK grid ref to lat long for car sat nav. Been looking high and low for app that does this - thank you!
4 ★Very useful and almost unique. There's just one thing that would really help -When I do a conversion I usually want to copy the output to another mapping app, so this app needs to either allow, or facilitate copy to clipboard operations. Other than that it's spot on.
4 ★It is amusing that "Settings" does nothing. I like this app (simple is good) but share the comment others have made that copy to clipboard is an obvious missing feature.
5 ★Allows manual OS style grid reference entry and gives a Lat/Long output. Used to enter data into app that only accepts Lat/Long input. Copy and paste between apps. Would be good if it could include MGRS co-ordinates, save me having to have a separate app for that.
