App privacy Measured
Global Position declares it collects no data at all — the rarest and most private label on the App Store.
Declared label
Data Not Collected
As declared by the developer on the App Store — Apple requires every app to publish this label. We track changes over time.
Global Position downloads
Worldwide, per day, and installs to date. The band is open; the exact number is free with an account.
How this is calculated
Apple publishes no download counts. App Store downloads come from chart positions and daily rating growth per country, calibrated on Google Play install counts; lifetime installs from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.
Active users
All platforms, worldwide. Free with an account.
Stickiness (DAU / MAU)
how many monthly users open it on a given day
How this is calculated
Monthly users come from lifetime installs across every store, fitted on monthly active user figures companies publish; daily users = monthly × the typical daily/monthly ratio for the category. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

Review momentum
20/100
faster than 0% of Navigation apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
What users say about Global Position
From recent reviews.
About Global Position
Turn your iPhone into a precision navigation instrument: every major coordinate and grid format, a compass, altimeter, speedometer, HUD mode, a live world daylight map and the new Celestial View. Coordinates, grid references and astronomy are calculated on your device, so they keep working without a mobile-data signal.
COORDINATES IN EVERY FORMAT
- Latitude and longitude in decimal degrees, DD-MM, DMS or radians
- Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)
- Military Grid Reference System (MGRS)
- Universal Polar Stereographic (UPS), shown automatically near the poles where UTM and MGRS are undefined
Get a complete MGRS reference even on a ridge with no mobile signal.
NAVIGATION TOOLS
- Compass with true and magnetic headings side by side
- Altimeter with a four-minute trend graph and session maximum
- Speedometer in m/s, km/h, ft/s, mph or knots
- HUD mode: rotate to landscape for a mirrored windscreen display that keeps the screen awake
- G-force gauge with gravity excluded, plus maximum G-force and speed records
- Flashlight for reading a map after dark
SUN, MOON AND SKY
Swipe across the astronomy card:
- Solar Times: sunrise, sunset, day length and a daylight arc
- World Time Zone Map: live daylight, civil, nautical and astronomical twilight and night, the points where the Sun and Moon are overhead, and the local time in 15 world cities
- Celestial View (new): the Earth from space, lit by the Sun, with the Moon on its orbit and your position marked. Look down on either pole, or from the side to see the Earth's 23.4° tilt. Read the Sun's and Moon's elevation and bearing from where you stand.
- Moon Status: phase, next full and new moon, distance and days into the lunar cycle
WIDGETS (NEW)
Position, Sun, Moon and Celestial View widgets for the Home Screen, with Position, Sun and Moon on the Lock Screen too: your coordinates and grid reference, the next sunrise or sunset with a countdown, today's moon phase, or the Earth, Sun and Moon from the viewpoint you choose.
SIRI AND SHORTCUTS (NEW)
Ask "Where am I in Global Position?" or "When is sunset in Global Position?". Hear your coordinates, altitude, the next sunrise or sunset, the moon phase or where the Sun and Moon are, copy your coordinates or share your location. Every action also works in the Shortcuts app.
KNOW HOW GOOD YOUR FIX IS
See the measured accuracy of your fix in metres, colour-coded Good, Fair or Poor, so you know whether to trust it. Choose how hard the GPS works: High, Medium or Low to save battery.
SHARE YOUR POSITION
One tap sends an Apple Maps link that opens on any phone or computer, with your address, coordinates, grid reference, altitude, accuracy and the local time of the fix.
LOCATION AND MAP
- Automatic address lookup when online
- Standard, satellite and hybrid maps
- Follow your location, or your location and heading
MAKE IT YOURS
Light, dark or system appearance; metres or feet; your choice of speed unit.
