GPS Status

Almost all modern smartphones are able to receive satellite signals and, based on the received data, determine the position in space quite accurately. The only problem is to choose the software that interacts with the GPS receiver, because there are many different options. A good program is GPS Status & Toolbox, which allows you to use the capabilities of the navigator and telemetry collection.

Purpose

GPS Status application is especially useful for actively traveling users who visit places far from traditional tourist routes. It is inconvenient and expensive to buy paper maps, it is much more comfortable to take out your smartphone and run the appropriate program. An additional advantage of the method is the automatic determination of location - you no longer need to have experience in "reading" paper guides, you just need to look at the screen and literally in a couple of seconds to know your location.

Additional features

The application also allows you to familiarize yourself with telemetry information. The user is able to find out the location of satellites in the sky, check the current signal reception level, calculate the speed of movement. GPS Status has a fairly accurate compass to help you navigate in space. If any problem or difficult situation arises, you can copy your coordinates and then send them via SMS to your loved ones.

Interface

The user interface is probably the only drawback of the program. Most users note that there are too many controls and it is difficult to understand them. But if you devote a little time to training and familiarize yourself with the help section, then there will be no difficulties with the use of the program. To get used to it faster, it is recommended to activate the Russian language in the settings, and then begin to understand the functionality.
