Abstract

Swiss Grid works in 2 different modes: "Manual" and "Locate Me".

In manual mode, Swiss Grid supports calculations from and to three different coordinate system schemes: WGS84 (DMS, Degrees, Minutes, Seconds), WGS84 (Decimal Degrees) and CH1903 "Swiss Grid".

Unlike most lots of other coordination calculation applications, "Swiss Grid" utilizes precise formulae for its calculations rather than approximate solutions. Specifically, this means that a transformation from scheme X to scheme Y and then back from scheme Y to scheme X will not lose any of its precision.

In "Locate Me" mode, input is taken directly from the location services. Information about your current position, altitude, course and location accuracy is displayed.

Furthermore, there are additional options like sending emails with your current position or directly display your position on wellknown map websites.

Manual Mode

• Calculate between WGS84 Decimal Degrees, WGS84 Degrees Minutes Seconds and CH1903 Swiss Grid Coordinates
• Very intuitive user interface
• Whatever part of a coordinate system scheme you change, the other schemes will instantly update their display
• "Special": Our number keyboard features a unique "Done Button" to make user interaction even easier

Locate Me Mode

• Instantly see your current position
• Display is continuously updated in all three supported coordinate systems
• Additional information: altitude, speed, course, vertical and horizontal location accuracy, age of last fix

Features

• reversible and precise coordinate calculations
• display of current position
• display of current speed, course, altitude
• display of horizontal and vertical location accuracy
• intuitive and polished user interface
• send coordinates by email
• show coordinates on two different online map services
