About this app

This application allows you to work with navigation chips directly, without the help of navigation services Android. Connection to the navigation chip is possible via USB, Bluetooth and RS232 (Uart) port, as well as to the built-in motherboard chip u-blox®. To connect the USB navigation receiver, your smartphone must support USB Host OTG. To connect to the chip on RS232 or to the built-in chip in most cases it is necessary to have Root rights.

This application has great functionality:
1. Configure the port speed and data reception frequency.
2. Enabling and disabling the receive message in the format of NMEA and UBX.
3. Save the current configuration in the memory chip and reset to the factory default settings.
4. Some of the settings in the configuration of the chip. (Choice of constellations for navigation, etc.)
5. Possibility of obtaining NTRIP amendments to increase accuracy. Retrieved on chips of NEO-M8P and ZED-F9P.
6. Use of the MOC-location service. Allows you to replace the coordinates in the Android from u-blox® receiver. A handy feature if you want to use your receiver navigation coordinates from u-blox® in third-party applications.
7. Display your position and the route on the map. The same convenient display of basic navigation data.
8. Record and playback navigation logs.
9. Visual display status of satellites and receiving power.
10. TCP server. A very handy feature. You can connect to your navigation receiver, connected to the device by using a local area network (LAN). Remote connection to your receiver is possible with the help of the program u-center company u-blox®.
11. Visual display NMEA and UBX messages.
12. Displaying the position of your navigation chip in 3D space, if there is ADR support.
13. The ability to connect to the chip on Bluetooth.
14. If the device has no access to the Internet, It is possible to download offline maps to display your position on the map. You can download maps from here http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/download.mapsforge.org/maps/v4/ or from another resource.

The program will continue to evolve in response to your requests. Ready to cooperate in the development of a joint application using ublox navigation chip.

Ratings and reviews

This is a really good and comprehensive application. No nonsense, just a good app. This app has most of the features I would want but the most important one I need in the field is to be able to select different Satellite Systems. I can remove a system (sometimes I have to try a few times) but I cannot add back in. As soon as I press send, the tick box unticks itself and that system does not become active. Mock location appears not to start either, the button flashed but nothing starts. I have set it in the Developer Options.

The app doesn't work, it couldn't even detect one of my usb gps devices. It detected another one, however there was an error preventing any output. Tried emailing Dev for help, no response. Tried getting money back through Google and Dev has rejected refund. Rip-off!!!

Brilliant, exactly what I needed. Turns my tablet into an accurate marine navigation device! GPS works, but Glonas does not, although I believe my chip supports it. Nevertheless, I have what I need - accurate positioning on a tablet without internal GPS.
