Pros and cons of Coordinate System Converter app for iPhone and iPad

Coordinate System Converter app good for

This app works great. I use it all the time for work. No other app has all of these features built into one!

For my search and rescue application this is great. Simple data input gives me conversions to the other formats quickly and easily. I can see the location on a map and send the conversion to others.

Some bad moments

This app works great. I use it all the time for work. No other app has all of these features built into one!

Sean, please have this app use Google Maps; its simply much better. Also, after the user inputs coordinates, let the user then press the Map button and have Google Maps (or whatever map app) open with it already zoomed in and with a pin showing the location of the entered coordinates. I really need this!

This app is quick, precise, and helpful when converting different GPS coordinates. It also has a share feature for messaging your input to others

Perfect for SAR folks who need to quickly find positions or convert coordinates in multiple formats, without having to switch formats in your GPS. The one glaring omission is the inability to switch datums. Add that functionality, and maybe some minor UI tweaks, and its a five-star app! :-)

I love this app. I use it for work all the time. Simple and straight forward to use. Would like to see export feature to save my pin locations so I dont loose them for some reason.
