How to Mark and Organize Waypoints on iPhone

TL;DR

MGRS GPS lets you mark waypoints three ways — your current location, a point on the map, or a grid you type in — so you can save positions in the field and organize them for navigation.

Steps

  1. In MGRS GPS, choose to add a waypoint.
  2. Mark your current location, tap a map point, or type a grid.
  3. Name and save the waypoint.
  4. Group it into a color-coded overlay to keep things organized.
  5. Reuse waypoints for routes, sharing, or navigation.

Why it works this way

Fieldwork is a series of remembered points — a rendezvous, a hazard, a cache — and you capture them in different ways: standing on one, spotting one on the map, or being radioed a grid. MGRS GPS supports all three so you can mark a point however you got it, then organize them into overlays instead of a flat, unmanageable list.

Tips & edge cases

FAQ

How can I create a waypoint? Mark your current location, tap a point on the map, or type a grid directly.

Can I type in a grid I was given? Yes. Enter an MGRS grid and MGRS GPS drops a waypoint there.

Can I keep waypoints organized? Yes. Group them into color-coded overlays you can toggle on and off.
