On iOS 26, the map controls, the place card and the menu float on Liquid Glass over the map. On iOS 18 you get the same layout in frosted materials.
Spacing, corners and sizes now follow one scale based on the golden ratio, so every screen lines up with the next.
The map controls sit together in one column at the top right, out of the way of the map.

About Global Locator
Your position in 19 coordinate formats, a GPS camera that stamps every shot, and tracks that lead you back — all worked out on your iPhone, signal or not.
A precise coordinate reader, converter and navigation tool for hikers, geocachers, surveyors, photographers and travellers.
EVERY FORMAT THAT MATTERS
Decimal Degrees, DMS, DDM, UTM (latitude band or hemisphere), MGRS, USNG, UPS, GEOREF, Plus Codes, Maidenhead, Geohash and ECEF — plus the Greek (EGSA87), British, Irish, Dutch RD, Swiss LV95 and US State Plane grids wherever they apply, and optional Mapcode. Read older paper maps in ED50, NAD27 or OSGB36. Pan the map and every format updates together; copy any one with a tap.
PASTE ANYTHING
Auto Detect works out what you pasted — a grid reference, a map link, a geo: URI — and tells you what it found. Batch Convert handles a whole list or CSV at once. Scan a QR code to read a location, or show one to pass a point to another phone.
MAPS THAT KEEP WORKING
Maps standard, satellite and hybrid, plus OpenStreetMap and OpenTopoMap with contour lines. Areas you view stay available offline. Overlay the UTM/MGRS grid, favourites and tracks.
NAVIGATE TO ANY POINT
The compass says "Turn slightly right" with the distance, shows true or magnetic bearing, and waits for a good fix before saying you've arrived. Voice guidance works with the phone in your pocket; a Live Activity keeps the distance on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. AR navigation places a marker at the target's true bearing.
TRACKS
Record your route in the background, even when locked. See distance, moving time, speed, elevation gain and an elevation profile, then Retrace it back the way you came. Import and export GPX, KML and CSV.
GPS CAMERA
Photos and video stamped with coordinates, address, altitude, heading, time and a mini map, in four templates. RAW capture and Camera Control support, and the position saved in the photo's metadata. GPS Photos maps every shot and exports a PDF report, CSV, KML or KMZ.
GEOCACHING
Formula Solver for multi-caches, plus letter values, cross sums, ROT13 and Roman numerals. Corrected coordinates for solved puzzles, GPS averaging for hiding a cache, waypoint projection, distance and bearing, and a find log with notes.
FAVOURITES AND FIELD LOGS
Save places in coloured categories, with photos. Sort by name, date or distance, and get an alert when you come near one. Field Logs keep timestamped notes and photos at your position, exported as PDF, CSV, KML or KMZ.
ALTIMETER AND GPS QUALITY
GPS and barometric altitude side by side, air pressure and its trend, and QNH calibration. Speed, heading, course and magnetic declination. GPS Quality charts accuracy over time, recognises external receivers and predicts the satellite sky — GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS and NavIC — with DOP for the next 12 hours.
WIDGETS, SIRI AND SHORTCUTS
Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy widgets for coordinates, all formats, your target, altitude and pressure. Ask Si
