GPS Test vs GPS Waypoints Usage & Stats

With this app, you can check the GPS reception in your area and update AGPS data for faster fix times, whilst being able to view other GPS and sensor data. The app acts as a one-stop place for viewing: your altitude, accurate UTC plus local time, your compass heading, the moon phase and daylight hours. It supports GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, SBAS, BEIDOU and QZSS satellites. The app has various different colour schemes which can be changed according to your tastes, including a night mode. The colour schemes can also be used to match other instrumentation alongside the app. GPS Test has six different screens: •GPS signal (SNR) bar chart, showing the signal strength for each satellite, as well as the accuracy and status of the GNSS network •Satellite positions in the sky (sky view) shown on a rotating compass •Your current location on the earth shown as text and on a world map. The current position of the sun and the day/night transition curve is also shown •Compass •Your current speed, heading and altitude are shown as text •The current time read from the GPS and the local time in your current time zone, as well as the sunrise and sunset times at your location Coordinate Grids supported by GPS Test: OSGB, UTM, MGRS, USNG, CH1903, Maidenhead Datums supported by GPS Test: WGS84, NAD83, NAD27, ED50, AGD66, AGD84, SAD69 plus more The app is compatible with all screen resolutions from phones to large tablets If you like this app, check out GPS Test Plus, the enhanced features include: * Simple Navigation. * Location Sharing (email, SMS, Twitter etc.) * Dials (Altimeter, Speedo and Compass) * 7 segment LED font * Dot Matrix font *HUD mode Alternatively, this free app contains in-app purchases to upgrade its current features when you need that little bit extra Check us out on all of our platforms to find out more and keep up to date: Twitter: @chartcross Instagram: @gps.test Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/gpstest * Internet permissions are only required for analytics and advertising, the app will work without a WIFI or data connection.

GPS Waypoints

Multi-purpose mapping and surveying tool for both professional and personal use. The tool is valuable in several professional land-based surveying activities, including agriculture, forest management, infrastructure maintenance (e.g. roads and electrical networks), urban planning & real estate and emergencies mapping. It is also used for personal outdoor activities, such as hiking, running, walking, travelling and geocaching. The application collects Points (such as points of interest) and Paths (sequence of points) to perform mapping and surveying activities. The Points, that are acquired with accuracy information, can be classified by the user with specific tags or characterized with photos. The Paths are created as a temporal sequence of newly acquired Points (e.g. to record a track) or alternatively with existing Points (e.g to create a route). Paths allows to measure distances and, if closed, forms Polygons that allows the determination of areas and perimeters. Both Points and Paths can be exported to a KML, GPX and CSV file and thus be processed externally with a geospatial tool. The application uses the internal GPS receiver from the mobile device (typically with accuracies >3m) or, alternatively, allows professional users attaining better accuracies with a Bluetooth external GNSS receiver compatible with NMEA stream format (e.g. RTK receivers with centimeter level precision). See below some examples of the external receivers supported. The application includes the following features: - Acquire current position with accuracy and navigation information; - Provide details of the active and visible satellites (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU and other); - Create Points with accuracy information, classify them with Tags, attach photos and convert coordinates into a human-readable address (reverse geocoding); - Import Points from geographic coordinates (lat, long) or by searching for a street address/point of interest (geocoding); - Create Paths by acquiring sequences of points manually or automatically; - Import Paths from existing Points; - Create survey's themes with custom Tags for classifing Points and Paths - Get directions and distances from current position to Points and Paths using a magnetic or gps compass; - Export Points and Paths to KML and GPX file format; - Share data with other applications (e.g. Dropbox/Google Drive); - Configure positioning source for the internal receiver or using an external receiver. The Premium subscription include the following professional features: - Backup and restore user's data (it also allows transfer data from one handset to another); - Export Waypoints and Paths to CSV file format; - Export Waypoints with photos to KMZ file - Import multiple Points and Paths from CSV and GPX files; - Sort and filter Points and Paths by creation time, name and proximity; - Satellite signal analysis and interferences detection. The Maps feature is an extra paid funcionality that allows selecting and visualizing your Points, Paths and Polygons on Open Street Maps. Additionally to the internal mobile receiver, the current version is known to work with the following external receivers: Bad Elf GNSS Surveyor; Garmin Glo; Navilock BT-821G; Qstarz BT-Q818XT; Trimple R1; ublox F9P. If you successfully tested the application with another external receiver please provide us your feedback as a user or manufacturer in order to extend this list.
