GPS Status & Toolbox

Make it work, show it all, get me there... Get the most out of your phone's GPS.

Displays GPS and sensor data: position and signal strength of satellites, accuracy, speed, acceleration, altitude, bearing, pitch, roll and battery state.
Tools included: compass with magnetic and true north, leveling tool, mark or share your location and navigate back later.
Keep your GPS fast: reset it or download A-GPS data regularly for faster fixes.

GPS Status is 100% space proof. Try to spot the program in the video below :)

KNOWN FIRMWARE ISSUES (please do not report them):
- Samsung phones: Because of a firmware bug, they may report extreme battery consumption for GPS Status even if it is not running at all (other programs using sensors are affected too). This is harmless and no power is consumed! Just ignore it and let's hope that a future firmware upgrade will fix this on your phone.

- Droid 3: The initial Droid 3 firmware does not implement the satellite status API so you will not see the satellites and the signal strength bars. The rest of the features should work properly.

- Motorola phones: On some phones, turning your phone to airplane mode will turn off the GPS receiver, too. This is a hardware limitation.

- Droid Charge: Reports 0 altitude.

- LG Optimus: The phone cannot report the satellite SNR values correctly (all signal bars will be maxed out).

- Nexus One/S: With Andoid 2.3 it cannot report NMEA sentences. This means that the DOP/HDOP/VDOP values are not available.

After updating to gingerbread on nexus one the GPS did not work well. Now after updating to Android 2.3.6 and resetting the A-GPS through this app, the GPS is lightning fast and finally works again. Tracking apps like Endomondo and the like are working again as well.

Awesome little tool!

I give it 5 stars because it fixed my "Searching for GPS" issues almost immediately on my HTC Inspire. Worth a try for sure.

Did the job!

I successfully used the 3.7 version but after upgrade to 3.8.1 my Zte Blade could not obtain a gps fix in reasonal time, affecting google maps too. This problem is similar to that happened with gmaps 5.8 so I simply restored the previous version thanks to Titanium Backup. Hope it helps.
