## Description

Bluetooth GNSS is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your location accuracy by connecting to external Bluetooth GNSS receivers including GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou systems. Compatible with Android 14 and tested on devices like Samsung S24, it supports top Bluetooth GPS receivers such as Bad Elf GPS PRO+, Bad Elf Flex, u-blox M8030, and ArduSimple u-blox F9, including RTK/NTRIP for professional centimeter-level positioning.

This extension utilizes Android's Developer Option 'mock location' feature to integrate precise satellite positioning into your Maps and Navigation apps. Advanced features include overlaying NTRIP server data streams for real-time kinematic corrections and displaying accurate positional estimates via the U-blox PUBX accuracy messages for enhanced reliability compared to traditional methods.

## Review summary

Bluetooth GNSS is a reliable, ad-free app that effectively uses external Bluetooth GPS devices to provide detailed navigation and improved accuracy on Android, especially Android 10. Users appreciate its clean interface and compatibility with popular GPS receivers. However, some face repeated permission requests for internal GPS access and desire features like auto-connect on launch. Certain users report incomplete satellite data displays and sporadic connectivity or activity issues on specific devices or Android versions. Overall, it's favored for its accuracy enhancement and functionality over native GPS.

### Pros

- Works well with various external Bluetooth GPS devices like Garmin GLO, Bad Elf GPS Pro, and simpleRTK2b.
- Provides more detailed and accurate location/navigation data compared to native Android GPS.
- Clean, reliable interface with good reconnect functionality and ad-free experience.
- Compatible and works well with Android 10 on several devices.
- Useful for specialized applications such as woodland management, surveys, and trail mapping.

### Cons

- Sometimes repeatedly requests access to the internal GPS even when only external GPS is desired.
- Lacks features like auto-connect on app launch, requiring manual connection.
- Does not always display detailed satellite data or accuracy metrics for some devices (e.g., lacks detailed ublox data or GLONASS satellite info).
- May not remain active on some devices or Android versions (e.g., Android 7 on Huawei), affecting tracking usability.
- Issues with connectivity/data transfer on devices like Moto G Power Android 10, despite successful Bluetooth connection.
