ups sorry... how to delete this erroneous issue?

The GPS device has sometime to be initialized.
Something like the following commands:
su root
stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 ispeed 4800

However it would require a rooted device with busybox and superuser installed... stty is not available in the standard android shell.
Should not be a pb, if the device is rooted.

please add an option startup after boot.

THANK YOU for this terrific software. Works great on my WM8650 Froyo tablet. Have posted my success on HcH Tech Know site.
Along with your next release I would like confusing bluetooh messages updated for usb gps. More important is seeing constillation of sats and signal levels and compass bearing. If this apk could drive GPS Essentials complete functions that would be teriffic.

Does someone have the most compatible devices for this project? A list of reported working ones in ICS? Do they need to be USB -> Serial (i.e. PL2303) or straight USB?

Sorry for my ignorance, couldn't find a better place to post this...

It's great job, but comparing to first version, I'm unable to use my /dev/ttyACMX (last number may vary depends of use additional USB modem) device(ID 0e8d:3329 MediaTek Inc. Qstarz BT-Q1000XT [MT3329 chip]), which automatically sets baudrate - cat /dev/ttyACMX shows very nicely GPS NMEA.
Is that possible to add option to set device name manually or detects /dev/ttyACMX automatically without setting baudrate ?
adb root shell :
1|root@android:/ # stty -F /dev/bus/usb/001/002 ispeed 9600
stty: /dev/bus/usb/001/003: Operation not permitted

Hello Guys,

Actually sometime we are getting empty value of HDOP in GPGGA string in which we are getting latitude and longitude and as per your code is HDOP value is coming empty then we are not storing it's value. So please let us kow hoe to handle empty value of HDOP and store the lat long value if the HDOP value is empty.

I will be very thankfull and please provide me anser asap.

Hi,

Awesome app.!

I am wanting to start the service automatically either from tasker or a script (am startservice or similar). Can you offer any advice on achieving this?

Thanks!

In addition to NMEA 0183 messages from GPS devices (i.e. $GP messages), this software could probably also receive messages from GLONASS devices ($GL) and GLONASS+GPS ($GN).

it connects fine with 38400 to /dev/ttyUSB0 and sends some usual nmea output, but android 4.0.3 can't find it. probably some init of nd-100 required to function in android compatible manner!

and here is the nmea log

as you can see there is a valid gps fix $GPGGA data (at least it looks valid to me)
but android can't see it for some reason :-(

I've been using this for a while for a BU-353S4. However on installation on Android Marshmallow the application doesn't work with the new Mock Location procedures in the 6.0 APIs. Versions prior to 6 work fine.

*Update. If the software is installed prior to update it will be optimized and work fine in Android 6. If it is installed directly on Android 6 it does not work. The Google APIs automatically change the calls to mock locations, but I can't find any Google documentation on the new calls to make for Android version 6.
