On the Android platform, the GPS Test+ application does this very well
as a stand alone application (i.e. no data connection necessary). I
run it on a decommissioned Droid 2 during contests.

I have been using Hamlog on my ipad and iPhone. There is also som other grid
locator apps for the iPhone and I'm sure there is something also for Android.
Why get another piece of gear if you can do it with your smartphone?

Subject: [VHFcontesting] Couple of Rover questions
<snip>
Question number two:
I have a Garmin eTrex handheld GPS I use to identify my grid square. ?It works
fine, but I'm planning to buy one of the mapping GPS's for the vehicle soon and
wonder if there are any that will display grid squares now? ? I remember
several years ago this topic came up on the list and the general consensus was
the mapping GPS's did not do maidenhead. ?Has that changed in the last few
years?
Looking forward to doing the Rover thing again. ?I haven't planned the route
yet, but will likely put on 4 to 6 grids in the Indiana / Kentucky area.
