About TopoNavigator GPS Info
Toponavigator GPSInfo is a useful tool that utilizes all sensors of your device and especially the GPS to give you basic info about your position and your trip, with the ability to store NMEA log, send your coordinates to your contacts and provide a complete figure of your trip.
Designed to be an extension of the cartographic application TopoNavigator Android, Toponavigator GPSInfo operates independently.
The main page shows the magnetic compass, the fleet of visible satellites and intensity of the signals and two gradiometers showing pitch & roll sensor values.
The Trip Computer page displays.
trip duration data (Total time, Moving time)
Distance
Speed data (Current value, Average Speed, Min. Speed, Max. Speed)
Elevation data (Current value, Min. Elevation, Max. elevation, Total ascending, Total descending)
Movement Bearing in both degrees and cardinal values.
GPS and battery status.
Values can be reset during current session.
"New Section" provides Duration & Distance for a new lap.
Features:
Completeness: Plenty of information on GPS fix status (number of visible / in-use satellites, accuracy, azimuth, location coordinates, altitude, PDOP / HDOP / VDOP)
Plenty of information on trip figures (Total time, Moving time, Distance, current Speed, Average Speed, Min. Speed, Max. Speed, current Elevation, Min. Elevation, Max. elevation, Total ascending, Total descending.
Versatility: Representation of the geometry of satellites and GPS position quality with color symbols. Duration & Distance values can be calculated for unlimited number of lap.
Minimal consumption: Adjustable switching frequency of GPS fix, automatic screen turn-off
Responsiveness: Utilization and management of A-GPS data
Compatibility: GGRS87 planar coordinates. WGS84 geographic coordinates in all common formats (Decimal Degrees, DegMin.Min, DegMinSec), speed in km/h, mph & m/sec, export NMEA sentences to a file for post-processing.
Other features: Coordinates Send by e-mail or SMS with direct access to your contacts. Copy coordinates to Clipboard. Sensor calibrating. Full screen mode. Display options. Monitors NMEA files volume. GPS and battery status displayed in Trip Computer. English, Greek & French labels

For what I know, this is among the best free satellite information apps and, most likely, the only one that is ad-free. It asks permission to read contacts, mobile info and write to storage. The last one is understandable, but I don't get the need for the former two since they profit from their mapping applications (Toponavigator etc). Hope they update it soon to the new Android 6 permissions management system so we will be able to remove unwanted permissions.
