Features & Capabilities

GPS Test is a comprehensive Chrome extension designed for users who need detailed GPS and sensor information in an accessible format. It provides real-time data on GPS reception, satellite signal strengths across multiple constellations (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, SBAS, BEIDOU, QZSS), altitude, compass heading, moon phases, and daylight hours.

The extension includes six interactive screens such as GPS signal bar charts, satellite sky view on a compass, location maps, speed and heading data, and accurate UTC/local time info. Users can select from various color schemes, including a night mode, to tailor the interface to their preferences or match other instruments. Support for multiple coordinate grids (OSGB, UTM, MGRS, USNG, CH1903, Maidenhead) and datums ensures precise positioning. GPS Test also offers an advanced version with extra features like navigation, location sharing, and HUD mode. It works offline without requiring internet connectivity.

User Reviews

Users praise GPS Test for its comprehensive satellite data and straightforward interface, with some noting it’s excellent for survey work and generally feature-rich. However, many reviews flag chronic maintenance and compatibility problems on modern Android versions, including UI elements being obscured by navigation/status bars, bottom screen cropping, and unclickable controls. Reliability issues on certain devices (no fix, NavIC detection) and reports that the paid upgrade offers nothing new fuel concerns about value. Overall, the app is seen as abandoned with a usability handicap on current devices.

Pros

Easy to use and intuitive interface.
Rich GPS data and features (satellite information, diagnostics).
Ad-free paid version with working features.
Helpful for surveying and coordinate work.

Cons

Poor compatibility with newer Android versions; app appears abandoned and not maintained.
Major UI/UX issues due to system UI overlays (navigation/status bars obscuring controls, bottom cropping).
GPS reliability issues on some devices (no fix, NavIC detection).
Paid upgrade does not deliver new features; perceived as misleading/scam.
Device-specific sizing and screen-cropping issues (bottom of screen cut off).

Recent reviews

FYI: Android Information bar can now be 'hidden' so the top menu buttons are accessible. Rotate the phone and tap the 3 dots for Settings, "Hide The Status Bar". Pixel 9.

Good God what a mess.. an excellent app with an import export feature that absolutely fails between two versions.. in both versions failed to open Google maps now.. do I have to go back to all the locations and re-establish them in the new app? and what good is it if it won't open Google maps?
