GPSense — GPS Test & Status

No references to other platforms (Android, Google Play): App Review rejected 1.0.0 under Guideline 2.3.10 for an Android mention.

GPSense shows everything your iPhone knows about its position, clearly, on one screen. Check the quality of your GPS fix before you rely on it on a hike, at sea or in the field.

STATUS
• Fix status (3D / 2D / no fix) with the reason when there is no fix
• Horizontal accuracy and an estimated source: GNSS, Wi‑Fi or cell
• Coordinates in decimal degrees, degrees‑minutes‑seconds, degrees‑decimal‑minutes, UTM and MGRS. Tap to copy, or share.
• Altitude above sea level with ± accuracy, plus ellipsoidal altitude
• Speed with session maximum, course with cardinal direction
• GPS time in UTC, age of fix and update rate
• Barometric pressure, vertical speed and a barometric altitude you can calibrate (on iPhones with a barometer)
• Tap any value to see it full screen in huge digits

WORLD
• Borders‑only world map with the live day/night terminator and the sun's position
• Your time zone highlighted, local and UTC clocks, today's sunrise and sunset

COMPASS
• Rotating dial with true or magnetic north, heading accuracy and a calibration hint
• Course arrow when you are moving, and a pointer to your saved waypoint

TRACKS
• Record tracks, also with the phone locked or another app open: distance, moving time, average and max speed, ascent and descent
• Pause, resume or stop from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• Elevation profile for every recorded track
• Export any track as GPX and open it in your favourite mapping app

WAYPOINTS
• Save your position or type coordinates, then see distance and bearing on Status and the compass

COORDINATE CONVERTER
• Paste or type a position in any of the five formats and get it in all of them, ready to copy or share, no fix needed

SIRI AND SHORTCUTS
• Ask for your position, save a waypoint, or start and stop a recording, from Siri, the Shortcuts app or the Action button

PREDICTED SKY
• Where GPS satellites should be above you, from the nominal constellation. Clearly labelled as predicted: iOS gives apps no live satellite data.

WIDGETS
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with your last position; the larger size adds accuracy, altitude, speed and a record button
• A Lock Screen widget that shows the one value you choose: coordinates, altitude, speed, accuracy or distance to your waypoint
• A Live Activity with your position, and one with distance and time while a track records

APPLE WATCH
• Fix, accuracy, coordinates, speed, altitude and pressure on your wrist, also without your iPhone
• Record tracks on the watch, with your wrist down; they arrive in the iPhone's Tracks
• Complications with the watch's last position, distance and direction to your waypoint, or the one value you choose
• Coordinate format, units and pages set on the watch or on the iPhone

SETTINGS
• Metric, imperial or nautical units
• Keep screen awake, light/dark appearance
