A portable GPS and calculator in one app. Built with Maps SDK and Fused Location API for high accuracy and low power consumption, suitable for long expeditions.
Features:
🗺 Map
• Instant update of coordinates and grids.
• Pins: mark points on the map and save them.
• Routes: Draw lines and place checkpoints to mark a route.
• Zones: join the endpoints of a route to demarcate an area.
• Geodesic distance: The lines drawn on the map are geodesic and indicate the shortest path between 2 points on the Earth’s surface.
📍 Pins (or markers)
• Organize and categorize saved items by groups and colors.
• Manage saved pins, routes and areas by sorting and deleting.
• Add multiple pins to the ruler sequentially.
🛰GPS
• Provides your current location using the Fused Location API for greater accuracy at lower power consumption.
• Provides your bearing using your device’s position sensors
• Graphical compass for navigation and orientation with support for any orientation/rotation.
📐 Ruler
• Measures distances and bearing between Pins.
• Supports multiple pin additions for cumulative measurements.
• Add routes and areas to measure distances and straight line direction between each control point.
Coordinate Systems:
🌐 Recce supports the following systems:
1. WGS84 latitude and longitude
2. UTM, all areas
3. MGRS (in UTM coverage only)
4. Kertau (RSO) / RSO Malaysia (m)
5. UK National Network (BNG)
6. Maidenhead Locator System (QTH Locator)
Note 1: The application respects each system’s area of use and returns “N/A” in locations outside the system boundaries.
Note 2: The app does not support UPS (universal stereographic polar) and it is not planned to do so.
