## Description

**GPS Monitor** is an offline GPS tester and GNSS monitor for Android that helps you understand how your device receives satellite signals. View coordinates, altitude, speed, bearing, positioning accuracy, satellite count, signal strength, frequency, azimuth, and elevation without an Internet connection.

Explore satellite data across four clear screens: an overview of your location and fix quality, a radar-style sky plot, detailed satellite lists, and a schematic world map. The app supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, IRNSS, SBAS, and more. Customize coordinate and speed units, choose light or dark themes, enable background monitoring, and copy coordinates for use in other apps. Ideal for navigation diagnostics, travel, fieldwork, outdoor activities, and learning about GNSS.
