HandyGPSWear 4.8
BinaryEarth
NOTE: Also check out the HandyGPS app since itnow contains the same Wear functionality as HandyGPSWear as well asone of the best fully featured hiking apps for your phone.HandyGPSWear was specifically designed to take full advantage ofAndroid Wear watches that include their own GPS receivers, like theSony Smartwatch 3. However, it will work on other smartwatches likethe Moto 360 too since it can also use your phone's GPS.With this app you can record a tracklog and how far you'vewalked on bushwalks and hikes. If you find anything interestingalong the way you can record its location as a waypoint and uploadit to your phone later to view in Google Earth. The app can evenguide you back to a waypoint. So now, you can leave your phonebehind and just wear your watch !The app has five pages that you can swipe between:* The first page shows your location information including theUTM easting/northing and zone or lat/lon coordinates, altitude, GPSaccuracy and speed/direction or odometer.* The second page lists your recorded waypoints and allows you tomark new waypoints.* The third page shows the current time, sunrise, sunset, andbattery level.* The fourth page allows you to open the Compass, Goto, Map andElevation Profile pages.It also has a button to show the currentlocation as an MGRS grid reference. Note that the compass will onlywork if you have magnetic field and accelerometer sensors in yourwatch.* The fifth page allows you to change the settings such ascoordinate type and units (metres and kilometres per hour, feet andmiles per hour, or nautical miles and knots). You can also chooseto display an alternate main page which shows the current time,battery, altitude, speed/direction, and odometer all on onepage.To mark a waypoint, click the "+" button at the top of thewaypoints page and enter a name. To view a previously recordedwaypoint, press on the waypoint name. Waypoints and tracklogsrecorded on the watch can be uploaded to your phone when connectedvia BlueTooth if the companion app is running on the phone. You canalso download a KML file from the HandyGPSWear folder on your phoneto your watch. (Currently you need to re-start the app to refreshthe waypoint list after doing this).You can press the brightness button on the main page to reducethe screen brightness when you're not looking at it to conservebattery power(*). It is recommended that you leave the maincoordinates page visible when you're recording tracklogs and usingthe odometer.All coordinates use the global standard datum, WGS84. Lat/Loncoords can be shown in decimal degrees, Deg-Min-Sec or Deg-Minformats.Before installing the app, make sure that your phone is pairedto your smartwatch using Bluetooth and Google's Android Wear app isrunning. After installation, HandyGPSWear will run either when yoursmart watch is paired to an Android phone via BlueTooth, orstand-alone if the watch has its own GPS receiver.To calibrate the compass page, move your watch in a figure-8pattern in the air and/or rotate it on all three 3D axes.NOTE: Due to the small space requirements, GPS receivers insmart watches generally do not work as well as the ones in phones.Under heavy vegetation cover in particular, you may find it hard tomaintain a GPS lock. You can use the more powerful receiver GPS inyour phone if the watch is paired via BlueTooth.IMPORTANT: When you're finished using the app swipe to close itrather than pressing the physical home button since otherwise theapp will continue running and waste battery power.See also, HandyListPlus and HandyWorldTime for Android Wear.
Coordinate Master 3.7
BinaryEarth
This powerful geodesy app allows you toconvert coordinates between many of the world's coordinate systems,compute geoid offsets, and estimate the current or historicmagnetic field for any location. It also includes surveying toolsto compute the point scale factor and grid convergence.The app uses the PROJ4 library and a lookup file containingprojection and datum parameters to support over 1700 coordinatesystems. Lat/lon, UTM, US State Plane, and many, many others aresupported. You can also create your own coordinate systems if youknow the parameters.The app also supports affine transformations toallow you to set up local grid systems. Seehttp://www.binaryearth.net/Miscellaneous/affine.html fordetails.The app either takes manual coordinate input or uses your currentGPS location. The computed location can be displayed in Google Mapsvia your web browser with a single button press. It also supportsMGRS grid references.You can export any lat/lon, UTM or transverse Mercator coordinatesystems to a HandyGPS datum (.hgd) file for use as a custom datumin HandyGPS.The magnetic field calculator page computes the Earth's current orhistorical magnetic field at a given location. The magneticdeclination computed is useful for compass navigation since itrepresents the difference between true north and magnetic north.Field inclination and total intensity are also computed. This tooluses the International Geomagnetic Reference Field model (IGRF-12).See http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/IAGA/vmod/igrf.html for full details.Years from 1900 through to 2020 are supported.The app can also compute the geoid height offset for a givenlocation, using the EGM96 model. Geoid offset can be subtractedfrom the height reported by GPS to give your actual height abovesea level.Online help for the app is available athttp://www.binaryearth.net/CoordinateMasterHelpNOTE: A version of this app is now also available foriPhones.Permissions required: (1) GPS - to determine your location, (2) SDcard access - to read and write user projections file.
HandyGPSWear Free 3.8

Point scale factor 2.1
BinaryEarth
A useful tool for surveyors.Given a UTM easting (E), northing (N) and height (H), this appcomputes the grid/point scale factor, elevation/height factor andcombined scale factor values.Formulas from the following document are used:http://www.dtpli.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/word_doc/0011/111044/The_Map_Grid_of_Australia_1994_Computational_Manual.docThe defaults can be changed by selecting the menu and choosing"Settings".The app also includes a grid convergence calculator page whichtakes a lat/lon position as input. This can be opened from themenu.

Handy Data Logger (free) 2.8
BinaryEarth
This app can act as a rainfall chart tousewith your rain gauge. You can also use it to record other dailyormonthly data values such as sales, body weight, temperature,etc.This free version only supports a single parameter, but thepaidversion allows you to set up a number of different parametersthatyou want to record, and then easily enter numeric values eachdayor month. You can also import data from and export data tocommadelimited (CSV) text files.Once you have recorded data, you can view it in tabular,calendar,or graphical form. Data can be viewed for a given month,year, orall years. The graph can display the data as a line or barchart,and a linear trend line can optionally be shown over thetop.Note: When importing from a CSV file, the format should be thesameas the files the app exports. There must be a single headerlinecontaining the field names, and the first 4 fields mustbeYear,Month,Day,Value (Where the Value field can have any name,suchas Rainfall). Following this may be the optionalCommentfield.The paid version of this app, "Handy Data Logger", isidenticalexcept that it has no ads and allows multiple parametersto becreated.
Custom Formulas (free) 2.2
BinaryEarth
This powerful app lets you create yourowncustom formulas and then perform computations using thembyprompting you for the input values.Note that this free version is limited to storing only onecategoryand one formula group. Upgrade to the paid version toremove theselimitations and to remove the ads.This app is easy to use, but unlike simpler apps, multipleenteredvalues can be fed into multiple formulas and multiple outputvaluescan be displayed. The output of one formula in a group can befedinto the next by using the same variable name.Related formulas can be grouped into categories to make them easytofind. e.g. Maths formulas, Surveying formulas, Loaninterestformulas etc.The order of variables displayed to the user can be changed, ascanthe number of decimal digits of precision shown in theoutputfields.One example formula, compound interest, is pre-installed withtheapp.A formula group can be exported to a text file. Other users oftheapp can then import it, allowing your creations to be shared.Anopen forum where you can share formulas is availablehere:https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/custom-formulasNote: Do not use "e" or "pi" as variable names since thesearepre-defined constants. This app uses the JFEP library. Seethefollowing page for the list of supportedfunctions:http://jfep.sourceforge.net/Syntax.html (Plus int(),round(),ceil(), and floor() have also recently been added).On-line help for the app is availablehere:http://www.binaryearth.net/CustomFormulasHelp/
