GPS Status for Android

1/5

With Android 4.2 " Kit Kat" users can now get detailed GPS status reports about their GPS units. The Google Code application has been created by Android creators to enable third-party applications on Android devices to display Google Maps with real time GPS location data. The feature works similarly to how Google Now does it.

EclipSim is a new open source GPS open-source application that shows detailed GPS status reports on your Android devices. Shows the current position of the GPS sensor, ranging from GPS latitude and longitude readings to the altitude and speed of the sensor. The interactive display grid is centered on the Google Maps interface with the current location coordinates as the background. Further information such as speed, altitude, accuracy and geographical location is also shown.

The Android Market has many applications that help you view the Google Maps on your Android device. However, the Google Compass application has an edge over all other applications because it provides more accurate location data than any other GPS providers. According to a research by Consumer Electronics Association, GPS users have been able to save more than 300 billion gallons of water through the GPS location service. By combining the signals from two of the most reliable global positioning systems GPS and the compass, users are able to receive crystal clear signal strength readings at any location around the world. As a result, people are no longer dependent on terrestrial navigational devices such as GPS signals.
