Features & Capabilities

rfsBuddy is a powerful Chrome extension designed to assist Australian volunteer Bushfire Fighters from the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) and anyone needing reliable GPS location services. It functions offline by using the phone's internal GPS, ensuring availability even without wifi or cellular reception.

Key features include GPS mapping coordinates in five different formats, including the standard RFS MGRS format complete with LPI Map details. Users can record and share locations, track movement, and access a Fire-ground Field Notes feature to log hazards and points of interest. Additionally, the extension includes an RFS Firefighters Pocket Book with easy navigation, bookmarks, and printing capabilities, making vital reference information readily accessible in the field.

User Reviews

Love this app that I have been using for sometime now, however I can't download the app onto my wife's phone as I get the notification "this app isn't available for this device because it was made for an older version of Android" even though my wife's phone and operating system are identical to mine in every way. Very, very annoying. Apparently, it's of Google's doing due to new protocols for apps on the playstore. Works perfectly for my phone. So why can't I be allowed to download it.
