About this app

With this app, you can check the GPS reception in your area and update AGPS data for faster fix times, whilst being able to view other GPS and sensor data. The app acts as a one-stop place for viewing: your altitude, accurate UTC plus local time, your compass heading, the moon phase and daylight hours. It supports GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, SBAS, BEIDOU and QZSS satellites. The app has various different colour schemes which can be changed according to your tastes, including a night mode. The colour schemes can also be used to match other instrumentation alongside the app.

GPS Test has six different screens:

•GPS signal (SNR) bar chart, showing the signal strength for each satellite, as well as the accuracy and status of the GNSS network

•Satellite positions in the sky (sky view) shown on a rotating compass

•Your current location on the earth shown as text and on a world map. The current position of the sun and the day/night transition curve is also shown

•Compass

•Your current speed, heading and altitude are shown as text

•The current time read from the GPS and the local time in your current time zone, as well as the sunrise and sunset times at your location

Ratings and reviews

This used to be my goto app for any GPS issues. Now it gets stuck in an ad-cycle. Can't use it anymore. Only shows ads. What a total disaster! It gets stuck on the altitude screen, if try to go to the main screen it shows an ad, and after the ad finishes, the application terminates. If i open it again, i get to the altitude screen and ad again. No escape!

Very useful app, but does not handle GPS date rollover correctly, which happened on 6th April 2019. Now date is always 1024 weeks in the past, and seems to take longer to sync, presumably because it is initially looking for the wrong satellites in its almanac. Update: The recent release has fixed the rollover issue and restored the app to its former excellence.

This app turns your phone or tablet into a very nice classic-style GPS. I especially like the speedometer and HUD modes. I use this app on an old cell phone zip-tied to my bicycle as a speedometer. It has more features and works better than a dedicated bike GPS speedometer. The only feature I would like to see added is an odometer. It would be a nice addition to the speedometer panel, where you could track your accumulated mileage over time.
