About Bluetooth GPS Provider

Use a bluetooth GPS receiver with apps like Maps and many others.

Using an external bluetooth GPS gives you better battery life and more accuracy. Ideal for geocaching and similar applications.

Please note: Most but not all applications will work. (e.g. Wikitude)

For a detailed review of the app and detailed descriptions of the settings visit http://l-36.com/bluetooth_gps_provider.php

The UI is simple to keep the memory footprint as low as possible. If you want to see NMEA data long-press the sat view.

When you have problems connecting to your GPS try different connection methods from the settings. Some devices need a power cycle once the Bluetooth stack had problems (it's a good idea to pull the battery for 30 seconds).

I've been using a realtime GSM dtmf tracker in my car for a few years, and until I found this app the only way to track was by making a call from my cellphone using a dtmf to NMEA usb dongle plugged into my laptop/desktop. Today I remembered my 5 year old Haicom 601VT also came with a bluetooth dtmf nmea device. After switching the GPS type in options to SIRF and 'Switch to NMEA' it works perfectly with Google maps on my HTC One Mini. Now all I need to track is my phone and the bluetooth device.

Works on Amazon Fire 6 tablet - just wonderful ! Simple to install - even finds the hidden developer menu on the Fire to enable "fake" gps locations. Paired with my 10yr old Globalsat BT-338 gps receiver and bingo maps suddenly has your gps location. Going to try it with an app on my smartphone which should make that a Bluetooth gps. Very happy and will send a donation to developer. P.S.. long press on satellite display gives NEMA output.

Great ! My first tests since yesterday works fine on my Samsung S4 (GT-I9505) with BT GPS Holux236 or Wintec G-Rays I, in combination with software OSMAnd, Oruxmaps, Locus Maps, GPS Status. One thing I am missing, are the number of Sats and Fix Sats in any of the applications. Is it possible ? Which procotol must be activated in the GPS mouse to show this info? Thank You, Martin.

The internal GPS of my phone stopped working, so I pulled out an old Holux M-1000, installed Bluetooth GPS Provider, and gave it a try . I must admit that I was not very hopeful that I could get this to work! To my surprise everything worked on my first try. This app works like a charm. I can use Waze again, and if the initial lock time and position updates are somewhat slow, I believe that is due to using an old receiver. Highly recommended.

Works awesome with both of my bluetooth gps receivers and reconnects automatically; start service and forget about it on phones and tablets. I've used this since 2011, still works great in 2016.

Used this to pair the SXBlue II GNSS with my Motorola Razor HD, Andriod 4.4.2. This app was successful where as "Bluetooth GPS" by GG MobLab was not.

Much simpler, not so sophisticated and rich as "Bluetooth GPS" (without "Provider"), graphic presentation of satellites only as bars, etc, etc...

Would be nice to have round circles for the satellites status not the ugly graph

N70%

Most new apps require mock locations be turned off Waze work good enough but most other apps give me and error message stating that mock locations must be turned off for this app to work and if you want it to boost your location for an app like Uber, Lyft or SideCar for get it! It will not work on those either.

I've used it on many different devices from the Samsung Vibrant and Tab 10.1 to my Nexus 4 and a Chinese Galaxy Note copy and it has worked well on every one of them.

Used this on a Galaxy S and now a Nexus 4. Brilliant at saving phone battery. Also means the phone doesn't have to be exposed to elements if you want to record track using other apps rather than pure navigation.
