About GPS over BT

GPS over BlueTooth allows you to connect your mobile phone as an external GPS receiver that can transmit information about satellites and the current location, using Bluetooth, to computer.
This will help you to work with such programs as: SasPlanet, Google Earth, OziExplorer, 2Gis and
other navigation applications.

Additionally, you can view a map of "satellites", which are used to determine the current position, and the signal strength from them.

At the moment, for transmission of information the application uses the data transfer protocol - NMEA 0183.

The application supports the following NMEA messages:
GPGGA - Global Positioning System Fix Data
GPGLL - Geographic position, latitude / longitude
GPGSA - GPS DOP and active satellites
GPGSV - Detailed satellite data
GPRMC - Recommended Minimum Specific GPS/TRANSIT Data
GPVTG - Track made good and ground speed
GPZDA - Date and Time

This does not pair with iPad mini and Garmin blue charts. Would love it to work just bought a dedicated external gps instead. Works fine with macbook pro.

Feature request- pass along the smart phones magnetic compass heading and or gyro data to the NMEA server stream as well. 5 stars, works great.

The app did not fully function on my Note 4. I was able to get it to work with my laptop, although there was only one screen available. It also screwed up my Home button.

Galaxy S6. This app messes with your launcher. I constantly was being asked what TouchWiz launcher I wanted to use. Drove me crazy. I finally figured out it was due to this app. Uninstalled the app and constant TouchWiz questions went away.

If it would stay running, it would have been a decent program.

Tested with Waze & Co-pilot. Both show 5 mph faster than actual. Both apps show correct speed when used with a hardware GPS Bluetooth Mouse. Same result with imperial or metric units selected. Nexus 6 running 5.1.1 Fix and its a 5 star app.

Surprised that it works so well on my Galaxy S3 Neo , compatible with gpsd on linux if it is started on -b read only mode , what more can you ask :)

You should have in the description that another application is needed in addition to this one, on the receiving device for using this. I use this on my phone and "Bluetooth GPS" app on my tablet. Has grey dot but gives location. Enable fused location, enable mock location.

Works perfectly. Sending GPS over BT to Franson GPSgate and feeding GE kml on Pc. Needed in a pinch and exceeded expectations.

This app is very likely bugging out my touchwiz home app. Going to try to uninstall and see if that fixes the issue. Yep that solved the issue, after uninstalling touchwiz home works just as it should.

Does not work well with Galaxy S5. For some reason causes home screen to act up. Also having trouble connecting to Google Earth in windows 8.1 pro. Trying to use with Earth Tracker.

Somehow it inserts itself as an option for the home launcher. IE every time you hit the home key you have to select Easywiz. When you don't have the app installed this problem goes away.

G70%
by G####:

Please fix. Worked great with S3, broke S3 bought Note 4, 5.01 now phone thinks GPS over BT is a home button app and interferes with the home button app selection so one is constantly presented with the home app choice. Please fix this super easy app to use phone as GPS with laptop.

I needed to connect an external GPS to my Windows 8.1 laptop but didn't have the necessary hardware to connect. A quick search revealed this and some other apps. Installed on my Moto G, paired with Windows laptop OK. Assigned a bluetooth COM port on the laptop and set the speed to 4800. It just works!

N70%
by N####:

We have an app that uses external GPS devices, and all of my devices were at a conference. I couldn't fix any bugs without them. I downloaded this app and turned my phone into an external GPS for my android tablet. Perfect! I have a Samsung S5 running the app and a Samsung Plus 7.0 connected to my phone. Thanks for saving me from a week of no bug fixes!

Only one issue getting it working with GPSGATE client for windows and that is it is not recognized as a bluetooth GPS per say but it is available as a standard com port connection over bluetooth. After connecting to com9 in gpsgate I got it working. I hope to see this service searchable as a bluetooth gps when adding input under gpsgate for windows.
