Wow! Outstanding. I wrote an app to basicly track inventory outside. Tried for 2 days to collect accurate gps data with a samsung s8+. The GPS readings were all over the place. Installed activeGPS, then ran my program. Set to fast mode. GPS readings were spot on and Fast. Thank you! Accurate data far outweighs the use of the battery. I attached an external battery pack and can run all day. Again, thank you!

Omg, thankyou. Gps nav has never worked on my current phone until this. Doing more testing, but so far this seems to barely use any extra battery.

Hi - I got a Pixel 7 and it has well know accuracy issues with the GPS. ActiveGPS has help me with the accuracy, however I still have a chronic lag issue. I take a picture, walk 20 feet, take another picture, walk 20 ft, and take another picture and repeat. Often the GPS will report the location of the previous picture. The GPS is accurate but often does not refresh fast enough that the current location is report. Is there a way to update the GPS faster? Thanks =
