GPS Connector App

Connect any high-precision external GPS antenna by Bluetooth Classic, Bluetooth Low-Energy, USB or TCP-IP to your smartphone and mock the current location from the external GPS to the Android system.
Any other app which read the location data from Android receive the mocked position from your external device.
The app is useful if you don't have an internal GPS on your phone/tablet or you want to use high-precision GNSS devices for better location accuracy.

Features
» Speedometer view (time, speed, etc.)
» Current location as WGS84 coordinate
» GNSS NMEA status view (satellites, GPS-quality, accuracy, etc.)
» Show satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, BEIDOU, etc.)
» Mocking: use the location of external GPS antenna on Android
» Auto-start of the app on device reboot

I've been using this app on my Ulefone Power Armor 18t for a couple of months now. The worst thing is that it sometimes silently quits. I launch it again, it connects to my GPS (Qstarz BL-818GT) and there we go again. You may imagine how my tracklogs look. Today it happened three times. For whatever reason the battery setting "Unrestricted" does not stay. This issue has not ever happened with Bluetooth GPS or OSMTracker, those always kept running. Not happy about it. :-(

App does what is supposed to do. I am using it with Garmin GLO for the android car play which was installed like add on. Mock location working perfectly. I didn't need it but happy to pay remove of ads. Few videos of the setup for different use cases would be more than welcome. Good job and recommend app

Lack of opportunity to purchase a lifetime license. And instead of this, only subscriptions for a certain time, that is what I don't want for sure. Not going to pay forever for the every tiny service on the Earth. Nowdays nearly everybody try to charge people in this way. So my choice lifetime license, or wait for a crack. Reply on reply: Looking forward for the lifetime license. Of couse not for a few euros. But I hope not as much as my GPS receiver.

Android 12 & 13 updates have resulted in a half mile radius circle in accuracy. All navigation apps suffer lagging map pointers during navigation. Currently using a Garmin Glo receiver with Samsung S20fe. This is a constant issue with Google Maps, MapsMe and Karta Gps apps. All these apps regain accuracy immediately when mock location is disconnected. Any work around is welcomed. (Note) App worked perfectly prior to the "system" updates. I am curious if anyone else is having the same problem.

The app works and sends the location to the device from an external USB TOPGNSS GN803G receiver. However, the Mock Location Notification disappears after some time and then the location is immediately sourced from the internal GPS. At the same time the external receiver keeps working as well and I see it in GPS Connector, but the Mock Location is not sent to Android. If I go back to the app and switch between screens the notification appears again and the Mock Location works again. Do you have any idea how the Mock Location can remain stable and the notification does not disappear? I gave the app all permissions and turned off battery optimization. My device is Galaxy Note 10+, Android 11. This happens in Simulation mode too. Unlike GPS Connector, your PPM Commander keeps the Mock Location Notification stable and visible all the time in simulation mode. Thanks!

I had initial problems that the developer, Marcus, quickly resolved. I have tested it with Qstarz BT1000XT connected to both ESRI Collector and GPS Essentials. The app modifications now can use hdop and vdop to be used for estimating accuracy, which is critical if your GPS device does not produce the GST info. For my work the hdop is the most important and now I have estimated accuracy of about 3.2 to 4.8 feet, meaning my hdop (horizontal estimate) is even better.. SUPER. My devices are Samsung Tab A tablets. What a relief to have this accuracy without the expense of high end (thousands of dollars) GPS units.

Works fine when mock location is turned on in the phone's "Developer options" settings. Otherwise the data from the GPS receiver is not transmitted to other apps eg Race Chrono (or Google Maps). Some notes in the app on this requirement would be handy for new users. Also the app seems to be very power hungry even when not providing mock location data. Good thing: The Developer responded to my initial review and advised about the "Developer option" requirement.
