Description

Connect your external GPS device by USB or bluetooth. Route the GPS position as mock location provider to any navigation app on your phone or tablet.
Show GPS status data like position, height, accuracy, satellites, velocity, etc.
You can forward RTK correction data to your high accuracy external device. RTCM data is loaded from the internet by the internal NTRIP client.

The app ist completely free with the exception of the NTRIP-RTCM feature. If you want to forward RTK data from your data provider (e.g. land surveying office) to the external GPS antenna, please license the app. You can fully test the NTRIP feature in advance within the 30 days trial period. You can view received RTCM message-types and coordinate-projection-parameters of the RTK data on the RTCM monitor page.

PPM Commander supports devices from ppm GmbH only, eg. ppm-10xx!

The PPM Commander can transform WGS84 coordinates into a local coordinate system like "Gauß-Krueger or UTM" for germany. Additionally you can set a fixed offset to the transformation for further improvement of the calculated local coordinate. If you allow mock locations in the developer options of your android device you can use the position of the external receiver in any application. The preferred way to process the external GPS position in other apps without using "mock locations" is implementing a simple ContentObserver. You can even get the transformed local coordinate and additional informations about the GPS status by using the app as content-provider.

By activating the "mocking" feature (get the position of your external GPS antenna into android) you can use this app for any other navigation-app or for geo-tagging.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

4 ★iwork 8 air tablet + holux m215 gps 20 min indoor test and no gps fix but connected. gps status "autonom" 4 stars for no manual
5 ★Works with VK 172
5 ★The GPS on LG G5 is pretty useless. With this app I can use a Bluetooth GPS receiver and it works really well.
5 ★I loved the app. Have been using it for connecting a bluetooth gps receiver to android MM system and it works flawless. An autostart and autoconnect at system bootup option would be really cool and helpful though. And I really wish there was a 4800 baud rate option for a usb gps receiver so that I can also use my old gps usb recevier too. I hope that kind of option will be available later.
4 ★Works well with my ublox-7. What's the fee after 30 day trial?
5 ★What is the price for the full version after 30 days with RTCM?
5 ★Tried tons of other apps. Only this one works with my ublox7 usb gps.
3 ★For example, Beidou satt. Are being picked up as QZSS, which is only in China, not Europe. Secondly, the colors on the Skyview page can be hard to differentiate. Perhaps make them user configurable.
1 ★Bullshit
4 ★It had 38400 baud rate option. Might you add it? Do you plan to upgrade it to Android 6?
3 ★If using an external GPS via WiFi this app will not recognize or connect. External GPS/GGNS such as Stratux will not work with this.
3 ★Please provide support for PL2303 usb device and Baud rate of 115200
