This application shows the device status of Dual XGPS150/XGPS150A/XGPS150E
The Dual Bluetooth GPS Status Tool is a simple utility application for use with the Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver from Dual Electronics, models XGPS150 and XGPS150A. This app also works with the Axxera Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver, model XGPS150E, sold in Europe.
This app shows detailed information from the GPS Receiver including:
- The number of GPS satellites in view and their signal strength
- The current location, or an indication that the device is still waiting for satellite information
- The connection status of the GPS receiver
- The battery status of the GPS receiver
This app includes the GPS helper app function which is required for an external Bluetooth GPS receiver to connect to Android devices. A third-party GPS helper application is no longer required when using this app.
Please make sure this app is running in the background at all times. This will allow all apps to use GPS information from the GPS Receiver.
