UTM in, UTM out
Geocaching references, survey points, military-grid waypoints, coordinates from a guidebook: when the world hands you UTM, most map apps shrug. NomadTracks takes UTM (and lon/lat) directly — type the coordinate, get a POI, navigate to it.
Create POIs from raw coordinates
Enter a position as UTM or longitude/latitude and it becomes a full POI — name, category, color, notes, photos. Perfect for transferring points from paper sources, surveys or radio messages.
Live coordinates on the map
The live map shows your current position's coordinates continuously — and the distance-measuring tool gives precise real-route distances, not just straight lines.
Five coordinate formats — including MGRS
Choose how coordinates read across the app: decimal degrees, degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS), degrees and decimal minutes (DM, the default on most handheld GPS units), UTM, or MGRS — the grid reference system used by search-and-rescue teams and on many hunting and forestry maps. The live map, GPS info, POI details and copied coordinates all follow your choice, and the Norway and Svalbard grid-zone exceptions are handled. Typing a position in stays lon/lat or UTM.
From coordinate to navigation
Any POI shows live distance from your position; pair it with a recorded track or planned route to actually walk there. Works offline, of course.
Field-work friendly
Among NomadTracks's 25+ activity types is plain 'surveying' — recorded tracks with accuracy metadata plus coordinate-entered POIs make a tidy, exportable field log (GPX/GeoJSON).

FAQ
Can I type a UTM coordinate and navigate to it?
Yes — create a POI from the UTM coordinate and the map shows it instantly, with live distance from your position.
Does it also accept decimal degrees?
Yes — longitude/latitude entry is supported alongside UTM.
Does NomadTracks show MGRS coordinates?
Yes — MGRS is one of five display formats, next to decimal degrees, DMS, DM and UTM. Entering a position works in lon/lat or UTM.
