SolidSync Network/Bluetooth GPS turns your Android-powered mobile phone into a Bluetooth GPS receiver using the Android GPS and Bluetooth systems.

It creates a Bluetooth serial port and then sends GPS NMEA data to any compatible Bluetooth-enabled or network enabled device: this could be a laptop or desktop computer, or even another phone!

See http://solidsync.com/bluetoothgps for more details and to review the help guide.

Using SolidSync Network/Bluetooth GPS you can connect another Bluetooth-enabled or network-enabled device (for example, a desktop or notebook computer or even another cellular phone) to your Android device and use your Android device as a location data source.

- See the current location information in a simple display.
- Make GPS data available to any other device that can receive GPS data over a Bluetooth serial connection.
- Make the GPS data available to any other device that can receive GPS data over a TCP/IP network connection, and manage connected clients.
- Configurable update intervals.
- Run the service in the background
- Control which NMEA messages get transmitted.
- Replay trips saved with SolidSync Trip Tracker.
- Tested with applications including ESRI's ArcGIS, Wireless InSSIDer, Google Earth, and others.

# Minor bug fixes
# User interface upgrades to better support trip replay functionality

Awful scroll in help, missing info on problems with Bluetooth... what does waiting for connection mean, feedback broken, cannot connect to server. Really just wasting my time

Cant get it to work. Keeps force closing and locking phone up. Bought it 6min ago. Went to request refund, and refund tab is gone in market. Hopefully developer will respond and refund. Poor luck in past with refund, so i doubt i get anywhere. Will see.....

Samsung mini 2 and opencpn. Used the network interface, once i'd gotten the correct listening port, worked as expected.

What's new

- Implemented support for hotspot network functionality
- Updated to support Android 4.0 with the Action Bar and networking fixes
- Minor bug fixes
