About this app

Have you ever waited minutes to get a GPS lock? Do you often forget where your car is parked? Did you ever wonder what sensors do your device have and whether they work properly?

GPS Status & Toolbox is the answer to all your needs.

Displays all the GPS and sensor data you ever were curious about: position and signal strength of satellites, accuracy, speed, acceleration, altitude, bearing, pitch, roll and battery state.

Tools provided: compass with magnetic and true north, leveling tool, waypoints: mark or share your location and navigate back later using the Radar (especially useful for geocaching, or quickly marking your actual position).

Speed up your GPS location finding: clear or update assistance data (AGPS) regularly for faster fixes.

Ratings and reviews

Have been using this simple app for hiking since 2013. The radar tab is very useful in giving a rough sense of direction of my hike as well as it let's me know the current accuracy of the GPS to determine my location in a place. The only downside is that I can't change the scale of the radar. It can be confusing as I approach the last few hundred metre of my destination.

I've used this great app for many years and adore it. The only thing I'd change is I'd make the status screen configurable. My phone has a ton of unused screen real estate at the bottom and I'd love to do things like display multiple location formats at once (e.g. DDD°MM'MM" & MLS grid) or multiple units for things like speed.

App is great, simple and has a heap of GPS detail, have been using it for years. As a note (partly for future me) install the legacy key first if you bought that version, run it and then install the actual application, installing the app first didn't activate the license for me.
