Bluetooth GNSS

About this app

Use accurate satellite positioning from powerful Connect to external Bluetooth GNSS (GPS/Galileo/GLONASS/BeiDou) receivers for better location accuracy with your Maps and Navigation apps that support the default Android Developer Option's 'mock location' feature location source.

Supports Android 14 (tested on Samsung S24).

Tested Bluetooth GPS/GNSS devices:
- Bad Elf GPS PRO+ (thanks to Bad Elf for providing test devices)
- Bad Elf Flex (thanks to Bad Elf for providing test devices)
- u-blox M8030
- ArduSimple u-blox F9 (including RTK/NTRIP)

Supports overlay of NTRIP server data streams for professional RTK positioning (centimeter-level accuracy - depends on device), if your Bluetooth GNSS/GPS device supports RTK.

For u-blox based devices, this app also supports showing 'Accuracy' estimates from the U-Blox 'PUBX' accuracy messages, instead of the commonly used 'HDOP x CEP' method. This PUBX accuracy reading exactly matches as is the same source of the 'Accuracy' as shown in U-Center PC tool when connected directly via USB.

Ratings and reviews

took a little searching to enable developer tools and get through the checklist. also on the pixel 9 pro, there no longer is a high accuracy mode. is there a way to determine if an App (Sony Imagine Edge in this case) is using the provided GPS or is using the system like Google Maps does?

works great on Nokia G20 Android 13 and Avenza with a Sparkfun RTK surveyor BT. been using for 2+ years. But ver 2.1 does not seem to pass H DOP correctly to Avenza - always show 5m but internally RTK surveyor reports 15mm. GNSS location IS correct just not the HDOP great app!

I've moved to a new phone running Android 15 and the app I used previously "Bluetooth GPS" doesn't install, so I gave this app a try. Setup was quick, it connected to my Garmin Glo and Android was receiving the Glo's location immediately. Tested with my Speedometer app (I was the author of the now retired 'DigiHUD Speedometer' app) and it works great. Only thing I miss is a real-time constellation view, but it's not a bigee. Thanks.

What’s new

- auto-reconnect params not show on reconnect fixed
- restore setmock use hdop*cep or ublox accuracy if present (used fixed 5m earlier as was trying for gmaps support)
- default dev CEP is 5 meters
