iPhone app for BRB900

[DAllen]

I'm having trouble finding an app for interpreting the GPS coordinates that my BRB900 spits out for my iPhone. Cell coverage where I normally fly is not an issue. Its degrees, decimal minutes (I think) and I am just looking for an app that will allow me to just punch in the coords and show me on a map where the heck that point is. There are LOADS of GPS apps where I currently am but not one that allows for me to put in the coords. I was using a Garmin eTrex hand held unit but that has bitten the dust after about 12 or so years of use and I'm not sure I want to replace that.

I think you can just type the coordinates in the maps search bar. Google maps accepts several formats. I'd guess the iphone maps app does as well.

I think I'll fire up the ol BRB tomorrow and put it outside for good sat signal and try that out. Thanks

By default, I think BRB900 reports degrees, minutes, decimal minutes. This is the most common format.

Google or iPhone Maps is fine, but you probably should have a GPS navigation app as backup, just in case cell coverage is an issue. I use Android, but I would guess that there are plenty of apps for iPhone as well. They should allow you to enter and edit waypoints just like your Garmin. MotionX is a popular app.

If all else fails, you could pick up a cheap, old hiking navigator on ebay. I use one of these.
