Geolocation: LOC8

LOC8 now reacts while moving. Quickly view your address, cross street, GPS coordinates, heading, and accuracy on iPhone and Apple Watch.

LOC8 is a fast geolocation app built for one simple question:

Where am I?

Open LOC8 and instantly see the location details that matter when you need an answer now: your current address, nearest cross street, county, GPS coordinates, compass heading, elevation, live GPS accuracy, and a what3words location code.

No digging through maps. No hunting for the blue dot. No searching through menus. Just open the app and get the information you need to quickly understand and share your exact location.

LOC8 is useful anywhere location matters.

You may be in an unfamiliar neighborhood, a large parking lot, apartment complex, campground, trail, rural road, construction site, festival, park, warehouse, or venue. You may need to tell a friend, family member, rideshare driver, delivery driver, dispatcher, coworker, or emergency services exactly where you are.

The goal is simple: open LOC8, get your location, relay it.

LOC8 was originally built around public-safety use cases, where seconds and accurate information can matter. Law enforcement, security, fire and EMS, search and rescue, field workers, and outdoor professionals can quickly access the address, cross street, GPS coordinates, heading, and location details they may need in the moment.

It is also useful for everyday situations such as travel, hiking, roadside issues, meeting someone at a large venue, finding your parked car, navigating rural property, rideshare pickups, deliveries, job sites, or simply checking where you are.

LOC8 supports multiple coordinate formats, including Decimal Degrees, Degrees Minutes Seconds, Degrees Decimal Minutes, and MGRS. Quickly copy or share your address, GPS coordinates, heading, elevation, or what3words location code.

Save important places for later. Pin trailheads, campsites, parking spots, work sites, access points, meeting locations, staging areas, favorite places, or anywhere difficult to describe. Search a saved spot or enter a location code, then use live distance and compass direction to find your way back.

Need to return to a saved location? LOC8 can show the destination on a map and switch into tracking mode, giving you live distance and direction as you move.

The Apple Watch companion puts essential location details on your wrist. Check your address, coordinates, compass heading, and signal quality without reaching for your phone. Built for quick location checks when stopping to work through a map is not realistic.

Designed for fast access:

• Current street address, county, and nearest cross street • GPS coordinates in DD, DMS, DDM, and MGRS • Compass heading, elevation, and live location accuracy • what3words location code for easy location sharing • Saved locations and map search • Live distance and direction back to a saved location • Apple Watch companion for quick wrist checks

LOC8 is not turn-by-turn navigation. It is a fast location-reference tool for the moment you need to know exactly where you are.

Privacy matters. LOC8 only uses location while the app is open. It does not create accounts, user profiles, live tracking, or location history. Saved locations remain on your device. When LOC8 resolves a current GPS coordinate into an address or cross street, that coordinate may be used with Apple location services and LOC8’s secured backend for that lookup.

One glance. One answer.
