Comments on GPS Connector for Android

★★★★★ Pete B · Mar 3, 2024

Using this, I have managed to link my nonages Honor X9 Android Tablet to the Garmin Glo to allow use of Offline Google Maps. Critical steps were: 1) Select "Set Mock Location" in the app. 2) Enable "Developer" options in Android (If not visible, go to settings, find "About phone" or "About Tablet", and click "Build number" 7 times). You can select GPS connector in "Mock Location App".

Using it with uart usb to ublox modules and works just fine. Really polished app and great help from the developer.

Requests to use mobile's GPS and doesn't work with an external GPS device, my review remains the same, have emailed the devs regarding their comment. What I had emailed was my device is an external BT GPS by Global Sat & specifically Global Sat BT-359,

Sub models, disgusting... Can't even get a perpetual license for anything. REPLY: Don't try to paint it as a need, devs used to offer lifetime 📜 and survived. You're just taking part in an "infinite money" glitch. The irony being I would pay $10 for a lifetime, but you get nothing for the sub model. In essence, you lost a potential customer because it's such a turn off. It's a niche app, but I CAN NOT SUPPORT the model. Subs are for services not offline apps. Millennials 🛑 💰 💩

Not sure why the app change from seeing a lot of satellites to zero satellite, NMEA transmitted via Bluetooth, after connecting the phone to another USB charger or Android Auto HU.
