About GPSTest
GPS Test displays real-time information for satellites in view of your device. A vital open-source test tool for platform engineers, developers, and power users, GPS Test can also assist users in understanding why their GPS/GNSS is or isn't working.
Start/stop monitoring via the on/off switch. After a latitude and longitude has been acquired, you can share your location using the Share button.
Supports:
• GPS (USA Navstar)
• GLONASS (Russia)
• QZSS (Japan)
• BeiDou/COMPASS (China)
• Galileo (European Union)
GLONASS satellites are shown as squares on the Sky view, U.S. NAVSTAR satellites are shown as circles, Galileo and QZSS satellites are shown as triangles, and BeiDou satellites are shown as pentagons.
Menu options:
• Inject Time - Injects Time assistance data for GPS into the platform, using information from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server
• Inject XTRA Data - Injects XTRA assistance data for GPS into the platform, using information from a XTRA server (see http://goo.gl/3RjWX for details on gpsOneXTRA)
• Clear Aiding Data - Clears all assistance data used for GPS, including NTP and XTRA data (Note: if you select this option to fix broken GPS on your device, for GPS to work again you may need to ‘Inject Time’ and ‘Inject XTRA’ data)
• Settings - Change map tile type, auto-start GPS on startup, minimum time and distance between GPS updates, keep screen on.

GPS Test is a very handy app to quickly check your GPS, get a GPS fix quickly by injecting time and to quickly see where you are because it include a Google map. The only issue I have is the reported altitude, it does not take geoid altitude into account. I'll give 5 stars when that is implemented.

Requires Google Maps, which take extra 50+ MB of space... If you need pure GPS test, use another app.

Tried to "adjust" GPS function on my Gio. With all other apps it was an neverending story - 5-10 min every time to GPS lock, EVERY time - not only when starting "from cold". But this little app is really wonderful tool, just because it WORKS! Less than a minute, and I can see the sky full of satellites! ))) Thank you, Mike!

Good app, but I really dislike a map that doesn't stand still facing up north. The tilted map style is for programmer's amusement only, to look cool, it is mostly irritating and annoying for user who really use map for guidance.
