Guys this has probably been done to death.

 

I'm looking for a decent mapping service that will link me into the GPS giving a 10 or 12 figure grid reference when I'm out of signal on my iphone. im thinking in emergency situation here. Something that gives straight OS co ordinates instead of wgs 84.

What's out there lads

 

Cheers

I did look into this and in quite a lot of remote locations there is no mobile signal, worse still no emergency signal. There is only one gadget that works, if you contact Adam in the link put up by Hertswood he will explain.

Look at a "SPOT 2 " if its for emergency situations can be programmed with details I.e. tree work and types of injuries incidents that are likely bit will work anywhere off satilite as opposed to cellular and can be tracked

Found a great one. UK Map

Yes it's not free but less than a tenner. Loads with 1:50,000 as standard. Downloadable 1:25,000 and 1:10,000. All OS maps. Accurate GPS locator no phone signal required (just as well, 3 is shite) recordable searches, post code finder too. Just if anyone is interested. 4b672c040a8a669b1e6e016b32c54a33.jpg
