It’s been a long journey! GPS Calculator was one of the first exclusive windows phone apps launched in 2011, less than a year after the platform itself was launched. Three years later it is still the most advanced GPS app and development is going strong. In fact, just a few days ago it received a major update with version 7 now available.
GPS Calculator is not yet another show me your location or sport activity app. It is not a navigation app for driving either. Instead, it is a complete toolkit packed with advanced features to delight experienced GPS users, inspired by some of the features found in outdoor Garmin devices. Among it’s many features is waypoint management, track recording, area calculation, sunset, sunrise, moonset, moonrise times, magnetic declination, coordinate conversion (with 10 coordinate systems and many more earth datum model supported), distance calculation, location projection, compass, altimeter and elevation profiles.
So what is new in version 7? GPX files can now be imported directly from an SD card or any other app on you windows phone. So go ahead and send yourself a favorite track by email or open directly from a website and GPS Calculator will load it straight for the trip computer, area calculation or waypoints. Since it is windows phone offline HERE+ maps already loaded on your device are now fully supported (as are Bing, Google and OpenStreetMaps for additional coverage). In fact, not only GPS Calculator fully works offline, it even has a new build-in database of around 3000 major cities and 9000 airports locations around the globe. So go ahead and type a three-letter ICAO airport code or a city name to go straight to your desired location in seconds, even without internet access for address search. Finally there is now wide live-tile and background GPS track recording. And a cleaner prettier faster interface on top of that too.
If you use GPS Calculator before, go ahead now and grab the update or if you never heard of it – try it now.
GPS Calculator comes in two versions GPS Calculator and GPS Calculator PRO. GPS Calculator is absolutely free and GPS Calculator PRO has fully functional free trial. Both versions have no ads. They are not really different, but if you feel generous and want to support the developer, please consider buying PRO.
