This application enables you to know position of positioning satellites such as QZSS and GPS in the specified time and location.


The positioning satellites displayed in the GNSS View are not based on the satellite information directly received by the smartphone but are displayed based on the satellite arrangement calculated based on the publicly released orbit information.

●GNSS View 3 functions
【Main】
・You can move to the Position Radar screen or AR Display screen from the application startup screen.
・You can see the operating manual and privacy policy of this application via the website.

【Position Radar】

・Positioning satellites can be specified from QZSS, GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, SBAS.
・You can also select specified signal satellites to see on the radar.
・You can see selected satellites by setting elevation mask angle.
・You can switch east and west of satellite arrangement, turn on / off rotation, and switch on / off display of satellite number.
・It displays HDOP, VDOP, the total number of satellites and the number of each positioning satellites in the satellite arrangement displayed on the radar.

【AR Display】
・Position of positioning satellites such as QZSS and GPS on the sky from your current location is able to see through your android camera at the specified time.
・In order to display satellites, it is necessary to turn on the position information of the smartphone and complete the positioning. Therefore, it may take time to display.

Great for viewing current GNSS satellites, and the AR mode is really handy for getting a sense of where satellites, however the UI is a bit dated and I would like to see a way to adjust the AR field of view so it matches the camera (you have to tilt the phone so satellites are centered to get an idea of where they truly are)
