If your Bluetooth GNSS/GPS device supports RTK, this app also supports overlay of NTRIP server data streams for professional RTK positioning (centimeter-level accuracy - depends on device).</p><p>This app supports showing ’Accuracy’ estimates from the U-Blox ’PUBX’ accuracy messages, instead of the commonly used ’HDOP x CEP’ method. This PUBX accuracy reading exactly matches as is the same source of the ’Accuracy’ as shown in U-Center PC tool when connected directly to the M8030 (EcoDroidGPS) or ZED-F9P (EcoDroidGPS + ArduSimple) devices via USB.</p><p>How to test if your target app uses the mock location from this app or not: during a connection, create a file named ’bt_gnss_test_debug_mock_location_1_1_mode_flag’ in internal storage (adb command: <code>touch /sdcard/bt_gnss_test_debug_mock_location_1_1_mode_flag</code>) and see if your target app now shows lat as 1.0 and lon as 1.0 or not, remove/delete the file to resume using real lat lon from connected bluetooth device.</p>","categories":["Navigation"]}
