Features & Capabilities

NMEA Tools is a powerful Chrome extension designed for logging and parsing RAW GPS data in NMEA sentence format. Featuring the ability to log GPS, GLONASS, and BeiDou system data, it saves this information to your SD card, enabling detailed analysis of routes and navigation parameters. The app displays routes directly on Google Maps and shows vital GPS metrics such as latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, PDOP, and HDOP.

Supporting background logging and enabling users to parse and view NMEA sentences with ease, NMEA Tools also offers multilingual support, including English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, and Russian. The PRO version expands capabilities by removing sentence limits, allowing selective sentence logging, and eliminating ads. With its user-friendly interface and robust functionality, NMEA Tools caters to developers, navigators, and enthusiasts needing precise GPS data management.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the app for logging and viewing raw GPS NMEA data efficiently, finding it useful and reliable for GPS data analysis. However, multiple users criticize the app for enforcing always-on location permissions without an option to allow usage-only access, misleading screenshots in the app store, incompatibility with serial GPS modules, and a restrictive limit on parsed data points that hampers longer tracking sessions.

Pros

Effective at viewing and logging raw GPS NMEA data.
Works well as advertised for its intended purposes.
Good features for showing selected GPS attributes.
User-friendly and useful for GPS data analysis.
Positive feedback on app performance and utility.

Cons

Requires always-on location access with no option for 'only while using app'.
App images on Google Play do not match the actual app interface.
Does not support serial GPS modules effectively.
Limited data parsing capacity (only 3000 datapoints), restricting track length to under an hour.
