I just started using Synscaninit recently and it's brilliant.

Google Maps will also give your lat/long. Right click on your map location and select 'What's here?"

Another handy android app is GPS Status & Toolbox

As above, either Google maps and right click What's here or an app on your smart phone. I have the GPS tools one above. Very handy if you've parked at Gatwick airport car park. You can place a marker where you are and navigate back to it. Handy on the shuttle bus at 1am when you can't remember what zone you were in lol

 

Ps. For anyone who's curious. The GPS on your phone is quite accurate. It's usually within 12m. I use Leica GNSS equipment at work and I've checked. Lat and long are ok on your phone. Height is inconsistent though. Can be up to 100m out of accuracy. GPS uses ellipsoid height which is different to geoid height which Ordnance Survey would traditionally use.

FLO's own weather tool 'Clear Outside' (click at the top of this page for FLO) has your local coordinates, or any other location you care to put in.
