How to Mark and Organize Waypoints on iPhone
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
- In MGRS GPS, choose to add a waypoint.
- Mark your current location, tap a map point, or type a grid.
- Name and save the waypoint.
- Group it into a color-coded overlay to keep things organized.
- 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
- Type a grid to plot a point someone gave you over radio.
- Group into overlays by mission, day, or category.
- Waypoints feed routes and can be shared by QR or AirDrop.
