2025 Editor's Rating
VERY GOOD User Rating

The Handy GPS app is a powerful navigation tool tailored for outdoor enthusiasts engaging in activities such as hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, and more. The app's functionality extends to various fields including surveying, mining, archaeology, and forestry applications. Its offline capabilities make it ideal for use in remote areas without network connectivity, providing accurate coordinates in UTM or lat/lon formats compatible with paper maps. It is important to note that the app operates optimally when granted continuous GPS access and with battery optimization disabled to ensure tracklogs are reliably recorded.

Key Features:

  • Displays current coordinates, altitude, speed, direction, and distance traveled in metric, imperial/US, or nautical units.
  • Enables saving locations as waypoints and recording track logs for route visualization.
  • Allows import and export of data in KML and GPX formats.
  • Supports manual entry of waypoints in multiple coordinate systems.
  • Provides guidance to waypoints with alert notifications when nearing the destination.
  • Includes a compass feature for devices with magnetic field sensors.
  • Automatically calculates local geoid offset to enhance altitude accuracy.
  • Offers compatibility with various global datums and map grids.
  • Presents GPS satellite locations and signal strengths graphically.
  • Features waypoint distance calculation, timer line for walk duration, and more.

This version enhances the experience further with additional features:

  • No advertisements disrupting your usage.
  • Unlimited waypoints and track log points for comprehensive data tracking.
  • Share your location with friends via email or SMS as clickable map links.
  • Email waypoints and tracklogs as KML or GPX files for easy sharing and viewing.
  • Supports a wide range of common datums and custom configurations for global compatibility.
  • Incorporates elevation profiles, GPS averaging mode, photo geotagging, and voice memo recording features.
  • Calculates various metrics such as distance, area, elevation change, and calories burned for route analysis.
  • Enables offline map usage by downloading tiles or using custom map images.
  • Facilitates optional background image insertion and location sharing on the web platform.
  • Provides spoken distance and direction guidance on the go-to page for seamless navigation assistance.

The Handy GPS app requests permissions to access GPS and network services, SD card storage for data management, camera for capturing images, prevent phone sleep mode for alarm functionality, control flashlight feature, and record audio for voice memos. Please be advised that usage of this app comes with inherent risks, and the developer bears no responsibility for any incidents arising from its use. For extended outdoor ventures, it is recommended to carry backup navigation tools like paper maps and compasses alongside mobile devices to ensure safety during hikes in remote areas where battery depletion can occur unexpectedly.
