Description

Spyglass is a powerful toolkit essential for every outdoorsman. Augmented reality navigator and a compass for the off-road. Packed with many useful tools: a hi-tech viewfinder, milspec compass, gyrocompass, maps, GPS tracker, speedometer, sniper's rangefinder, sextant, gyro horizon, inclinometer, angular calculator and 5x zoom camera. Tag, share, find and track your position, multiple locations, bearings, Sun, Moon and stars, all in real time.


HI-TECH VIEWFINDER OF THE FUTURE NOW

Get the most of live data out of your devices sensors overlaid over a live camera image on a hi-tech heads-up display seen before only in sci-fi movies. Enjoy smooth animations. Switch colors and lens on fly with simple gestures.


EVERY HARDWARE SENSOR IN USE

Turn your device into an advanced milspec gadget and impress your friends with its usage of every sensor GPS, digital compass, gyroscope, accelerometer, camera and more.


3D AUGMENTED REALITY

Never get lost with augmented reality navigation. Tag, find and track multiple locations, bearings, the Sun and the Moon and stars, in real time.


MILSPEC COMPASS

Find directions with the milspec compass operating in 3D space at any orientation. See direction hints to many targets at once, updated in real-time on the azimuth circle. Overlay compass over a live camera image or maps to instantly see which way you are facing.


GYROCOMPASS

Reach unbelievable precision with the gyrocompass, just like in air or marine navigation. Forget compass interferences. Get a live compass on devices with no compass sensor.


TACTICAL GPS

Find and track your location, coordinates in geo and military formats, altitude, current and maximum speed and course. Use imperial, metric, nautical and military units.


FINDER

Store all locations you will need later on, your cars parking place, a hotel, a hidden treasure cache in the woods, that camping place near the lake or anything else.

Tag locations and bearings with a few taps. Select points from maps. Enter locations, bearings and stars manually, or use the built-in catalog of the brightest stars. Paste to import coordinates or map links.

Find any target later with the built-in navigation tools. Find points on maps. Export by copying coordinates or links. Share locations using email.


TRACKER

Track the position of any location, bearing or star along with the Sun and the Moon in real-time. See objects through the Earth. See where objects are with augmented reality. Track many objects at once. Choose the primary or other targets. Get object distances, azimuths and elevations.


STARS

Track positions of the Sun, the Moon and stars with arc second precision, dozens of terms taken into account. See stars with realistic graphic markers. Navigate by the Sun, the Moon or the stars.


MAPS

Observe your and your targets positions on maps rotated automatically according to the current azimuth. See street, satellite or hybrid maps.


OPTICAL RANGEFINDER

Measure distances to objects in real-time with rangefinder reticle as in famous sniper scopes.


SEXTANT, ANGULAR CALCULATOR AND INCLINOMETER

Visually measure the heights of buildings, mountains and other objects. Calculate distances from dimensions or vice versa. Visually measure angles and distances.


CAMERA

Take pictures overlaid with all the data to document your special moments reaching top speeds, climbing high mountains, hunting, sailing or just visiting great places.

What's New in Version 3.3.8

v. 3.3.8 adds many useful improvements, including (read full description):
✓ Compatibility: iPod Touch 4, iPhone 3GS/4/4S, all iPad models
✓ Sharing your current location and waypoints with SMS and Mail messages
✓ New URL schemes for sharing your location and waypoints
✓ Built-in coordinate converter for all supported formats
✓ Many extra geogrpahic and grid coordinate formats (see full description)
✓ Many extra short distance and length units (see full description)
✓ New and much simplier Quick Start Guide (available at our web site)
✓ Bugfixes and many minor improvements

Following coordinate formats are now fully supported through the entire app:
✓ Various DMS combinations (Degrees, Minutes, Seconds)
✓ Geocaching coordinate format (H DDD° MM.MMM')
✓ MGRS (WGS84) grid coordinates (1, 10 and 100m precision)
✓ UTM grid coordinates (with hemispheres and latitude bands)
✓ OSNG (BNG, OSGB36) grid coordinates

Following distance and length units are now fully supported:
✓ Meter (m) and kilometer (km)
✓ Foot (ft), yard (yd), mile (mi), nautical mile (nmi, nm)
✓ Survey foot (s.ft), rod (rd), chain (ch), furlong (fur)


Sharing your location and waypoints

Long tap (tap and hold) the main app screen for a current location menu – send your current location coordinates and URL link via Mail, SMS or Messages – saved waypoints can be sent from detail views using export menus.

You may now choose the coordinate and URL format to send in settings – send the location or waypoint information using the format supported by an app on the other end, so your wife or mate could just tap the link to start navigating to your location.

You may also copy coordinates or links in any of supported formats from Mail, SMS, web pages or anywhere – then just paste them into the app – it understands everything it sends or exports.


Units, formats and coordinate converter

Units and all coordinate systems aren’t just simply supported – whenever the app asks you to enter location coordinates, or distances, or sizes you may use any of supported formats or units and your input will be automatically converted into the current format – you may also launch the built in coordinate converter using the “(i)” menu.

When you need to type in location coordinates using a different coordinate system, or to type in distances or sizes using different units, there is no need to reconfigure the app – just type or paste using that different coordinate format or units.

Use any of DMS formats for either geodetic latitude or longitude. When you need to enter grid reference coordinates or both the latitude and longitude coordinates into a single field – use any of supported formats. For distances and sizes just follow the number with the unit abbreviation – type “10 yd 1 ft” and it will be automatically converted into your current units.

Customer Reviews

Great App! (5 stars)
This is a wonderful app! I would give it 5 stars in a heart beat if the GPS would show in
DDD MM.MMM format....and now it does!!! Thanks for the great work and the new update! I emailed about a month ago and asked for the coordinates to show in the format geocaching uses. The developers emailed me the next day and promised they would be coming out in the next version! Great support and a great app. A must for hikers and Geocachers!

Need Sextant mode (5 stars)
Allowing us to make snapshot of elevation above horizon and time stamp at exactly the time when measurement was triggered will be very useful for navigation.
Spyglass will double than as a sextant.
Angle reading should be increased from tenth of the degree that is used at present to .01 deg or one minute (1/60)
Ability to read angle from the plumb line would be also good for the readings where horizon is not visible.

Gre

This thing is incredibly well thought out. (5 stars)
If you like well thought out adventure/ gps/ exploring type apps - this is pretty amazing stuff.

I'd like to see ability to speed in knots as an update. Marine mode?

Land/ sea/ air mode?

As it is, it's pretty incredible though. Very useful.
