I'm a US Army Officer Cadet, not a developer.  However, I've seen
things like the Radar application and know that you can do amazing
things with GPS functionality.

Part of our training in the Army requires us to do land navigation,
where we use 8 digit grid coordinates (e.g. EG12345678) to navigate
between two points using a distance (e.g. 1650 meters) and direction
in degrees (e.g. 273*).

It would be incredibly useful is someone could develop an application
in which I could enter a distance and direction (e.g 1650 meters at
273*) that would give me the range remaining and notify me when I'm
drifting off azimuth (ideally establishing a tolerance that notifies
me when my azimuth variation would result in my being more than 15
meters from my target destination).  Perhaps the application could
even generate and store the map location that's specified by the
distance and direction and automatically recalculate a new distance
and direction in the event that I become lost or disoriented or need
to navigate to a new waypoint.

Please let me know if you could develop such an application!  I know
that thousands of cadets and soldiers would find this application
incredibly useful!
