= IMPORTANT: go into settings and make sure you are set to degrees, minutes, and seconds DD MM SS and make sure your measurements are set to ENGLISH. =

= Also, GPS apps tend to use a lot of power, and sometimes they run in the background even though you have exited the application. You may want to check your running apps after using any of these and force them to stop, or on your tablets and phones, you may want to turn off your GPS when you are not using it .=

There are many other free GPS apps for phones and tablets. If you use another, it is OK. Please make sure that you can get a reading in degrees, minutes, and seconds, and that you can get a reading for elevation or altitude with what ever app you use.

I use Maverick on my own tablet, so I know that one and can help with it. I do not have any I-devices, so I am sorry, but I cannot help much with those. If you find good apps for I-devices, please let me know so that I may share them and link them here. Thank you.

= C:Geo-Geocaching App for Android = https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching This app shows locations of geocahces.

= Map Factors GPS Navigation = https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mapfactor.navigator This app is just like a car GPS, but free. It uses Tom Tom's data. If your tablet has GPS, you can use it to display a map and give you turn by turn instructions. Does not require an internet connection.

= GPS Essentials = https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mictale.gpsessentials This is another GPS app. It has a "dashboard" and you pick what data you want on the dashboard, such as coordinates, elevation, time, distance to your target (you can give it coordinates and it will give you directions and a map to them,) gives sunrise and sunset times, moonrise and set times, can save and share locations on the internet, can make pinpoints on maps-all in all, a very useful app. I say this is for more experienced users though because there are so many features. This is a very good app for geocaching or for trying to find any location by latitude and longitude coordinates. If you download this one, I can help you put your dashboard together.
