# 2 the PIN > Get your current position on the map, locate a point and many other tools Canonical page: [https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.up2thePIN](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.up2thePIN) ## Overview - **ID:** `com.up2thePIN` - **Platform:** Android - **Type:** Android app - **Status:** Available - **Publisher:** GeoTech - **Category:** PRODUCTIVITY - **Downloads:** 544 - **Version:** 4.0.9 - **Last updated:** 2026-09-06 - **First published:** 2018-10-15 - **Publisher country:** GR - **Size:** 3.17 MB - **Data as of:** 2026-09-13 - **Store listing:** [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.up2thePIN) - **Website:** [http://2thePIN.xyz](http://2thepin.xyz/) - **Privacy policy:** [https://pages.flycricket.io/2-the-pin/privacy.html](https://pages.flycricket.io/2-the-pin/privacy.html) ## Description This app could help you to:
• View your current position on the map
• Get your current location coordinates
• Get your direction relative to the North using your device compass sensor
• Add/edit/remove markers on the map with a title and a note
• Measure the distance from your current location and any other point on the map
• Measure the distance between two points on the map
• Share your current location, a snapshot of the map in your position via e-mail and other apps
• Export/share the markers (point) list file
• Import markers from kml file format

Therefore you can easily:
• Locate a point to the ground from it's coordinates
• Import markers to the app from your PC (kml file)
• Import to your PC the point list that you saved on the field survey
• Estimate distances between point on the map

Options-Features:
• User can use Metric (m, km/h) or Imperial (ft, mph) unit system of measurement.
• Normal or hybrid map type can be used.
• Latitude and longitude coordinates of World Geodetic System (WGS84) datum are used
• In addition to WGS84, the Greek EGSA87 datum (ΕΓΣΑ) can used in Greece
• Markers could be added by entering their coordinates or by clicking on the map
• Current position can be locked on the center of the map
• User can import markers (point) list in text format or kml file format
• Circles with center your location and standard radius (from 5m/17.5ft to 1000m/3280ft) are plotted in real time
• Current position can be locked-focused on the center of the map
• A floating info panel with your: location coordinates, the azimuth, the accuracy of those (location and azimuth), the source of location (GPS, mobile cell - wifi) and the number of the satellites in use, are shown all the time.
• An icon is indicating the source of location (GPS, mobile cell - wifi) and flashing when there is not a valid-reliable GPS signal

Notes:
• Internet connection is necessary to download the map
• You should give to app permission to access your device Location and access to write to your storage (you will be asked to give those permissions)
• It is highly recommended to enable Location HIGH ACCURACY mode in your phone settings. This option will use GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and mobile networks to determine location. In this way your phone location will be fairly accurate but this option uses more battery power.
• Location (coordinates) and orientation (compass) accuracy are limited by your phone sensors accuracy (GPS and compass). The accuracy of the GPS as well as the accuracy of the compass is indicated on the info floating panel on the screen. Be careful: compass reading can be totally wrong even if high sensor accuracy indicating (near strong magnetic field, in a car, etc.). The azimuth shown on the info panel is always the azimuth of the device compass. Phone orientation to the North is shown also in the graphics on the map. In case of moving with a vehicle, graphics orientation is the orientation of the moving vehicle.
• Although you can use this app in a moving vehicle, this is not a navigation program.

Limitations of the free version:
• Ads
• An annoying flashing message is shown over a speed limit (in a moving vehicle)
• Requires continuous connection to the internet
• Nougat android platform (version 7.0) or newer is required in order to get the number of satellites in use

A special thanks go to Anastasia for the design of the original app logo. This is probably the most beautiful part of the app. ## Rankings - #1,352,760 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.email.permission.READ_ATTACHMENT` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.up2thePIN.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Megamap - Create pins & maps](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.megamap.app) — 19,534 users, 2.57 / 5 - [Position Marker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ndroidev.PositionMarker) — 1,717 users - [Map Marker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.exlyo.mapmarker) — 3,134,638 users, 4.74 / 5 - [Map Area Measure & GPS Tools](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.jba.gpstool) — 7,622 users - [MAPS AND NAVIGATION ALL IN ONE](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ekik.smarttools.nova) — 14,376 users, 4.43 / 5 - [PinPoint: (Developer Beta)](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.tappix.android.coordinates) — 12 users - [Maps - Distance & Area Measure](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.locationshare.livelocationmap) — 18,982 users - [Maps Route Finder](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.directions.mapsdrivingdirections) — 1,338,751 users, 4.35 / 5 - [GPS Fields Area Measure PRO](https://chrome-stats.com/d/lt.noframe.fieldsareameasure.pro) — 16,191 users, 4.39 / 5 - [PinPoi](https://chrome-stats.com/d/io.github.fvasco.pinpoi) — 28,318 users - [GPS Fields Areas Measures](https://chrome-stats.com/d/lt.noframe.fieldsareameasure.adfree) — 10,806 users, 4.69 / 5 - [GPS Double Pointer 2](https://chrome-stats.com/d/biz.simpled.double_pointer) — 349 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.up2thePIN)
