BushGrid

Bush Grid turns 6-digit RFS-style grid references into a place on the map, and tells you how far away it is and which way to go. Built by a volunteer firefighter, for volunteers. Type or paste a reference like 343 509 and Bush Grid drops a marker in the centre of that 100 m square, using the match nearest your GPS position. Add the zone and 100 km square, or paste a full MGA reference, to place it exactly anywhere in the world. GRID REFERENCES • 6-digit (100 m) and 8-digit (10 m) references • Full MGA / UTM references, entered or pasted • Your own position as a live map reference • Grid overlay with labelled grid lines • Long-press anywhere on the map to get its reference ROUTES • Build a route of waypoints by reference or by long-pressing the map • Plan mode shows distance and bearing for each leg of the route • Follow mode shows distance and bearing from where you are now • True or magnetic bearings, metric or imperial • Name, reorder and save waypoints TRIANGULATION • Enter bearings taken from two or more points to locate a smoke or target • See where the bearing lines cross, plus an estimated position and spread • Navigate straight to the estimate BUILT FOR THE FIELD • Dark, high-contrast design with large friendly controls • Grid conversion, distance and bearing work without mobile data • No ads, no account, no tracking: your locations stay on your device BUSH GRID SUPPORTER (optional) Everything above is free, always.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE Bush Grid is an unofficial convenience aid. It is NOT a primary, certified or emergency navigation system, and it must never be relied on in any emergency or life-safety situation. GPS, compass, grid conversion and map data can all be wrong or unavailable, and a 6-digit reference repeats every 100 km. Always carry and use official maps, a compass and radio, follow your agency's procedures, and verify every location independently. In an emergency, call Triple Zero (000). Bush Grid is independent and is not made, endorsed or supported by the NSW Rural Fire Service or any emergency service or government agency.
