» 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

doesn't show many connections. hard menu to work with and get other nav apps to work with it too. not a useful app for navigation purposes. ads are annoying

Developer Response

Thanks for your review! Please note that GPS Connector is not a standalone navigation app, but a utility to forward high-precision data from external GNSS/GPS receivers to other apps via Mock Locations. If you need help connecting your specific device or configuring Mock Locations for your navigation software, feel free to contact me via email!

works well, had issue support was good. I had set app to unlimited usage on the battery so it looks like the Bluetooth connection is staying on and I'm getting a consistent GPS signal on the tablet now.

Developer Response

Thank you very much for updating your review — and especially for the 5 stars! 😊 I'm really glad that the battery setting solved the issue. Just as a note for other users: battery optimization can sometimes be a critical factor, especially on Samsung devices, where aggressive power-saving settings may interrupt Bluetooth or GNSS connections.

The app works great. I installed it on two tablets, I purchased the paid edition, but I don't understand why do I have to pay twice. I should be able to install the app in two tablets without paying twice.

Developer Response

Hi Anthony - you're absolutely right. You shouldn't have to pay twice for the same account. Are you using the same account on both tablets?

The app appears to be fake. Although it looks legitimate, it displays incorrect GPS data. It shows my speed as 50 km/h or even 210 km/h while I am not moving at all.

Developer Response

Hey! If you just installed the app, you were looking at the internal Demo/Simulator mode (which plays a sample NMEA track showing moving speeds to test the UI). Please open Settings (gear icon) to switch from Demo to your real Bluetooth or USB GNSS receiver!
