Description

Live GNSS satellites with C/N0 signal, plus your coordinates in DMS, UTM, MGRS

See every GNSS satellite your phone is hearing right now, and read your position in any coordinate format. LIVE SATELLITES FROM YOUR PHONE Android reports real satellite status from the GNSS chip, and this app shows it: • Sky chart with each satellite at its true azimuth and elevation • GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS and SBAS, colour-coded by system • Signal strength (C/N0 in dB-Hz) for each satellite • Which satellites are used in the current fix • Three honest counts: in view, tracked (signal received) and used in fix • A satellite list sorted by elevation YOUR POSITION, EVERY FORMAT • Decimal degrees, DMS, DDM, UTM and MGRS shown together • Tap a row to copy that exact string • Horizontal and vertical accuracy, shown separately • Altitude above sea level on Android 14 and later; on older versions the value is labelled as height above the WGS84 ellipsoid, because that is what the phone reports • Ground speed and course over ground • Metric, imperial (feet, mph) or nautical (feet, knots, nautical miles) When there is no valid altitude, or you are standing still, you see a dash instead of a made-up 0 m or 0°. SAVE AND FIND PLACES • Save here: store the current fix under a name • Average here: up to 30 fixes over 30 seconds, saved as one point with an estimated uncertainty that never claims to be better than the fixes behind it • Rename or delete saved places • Go to a saved place with distance, bearing, ETA and an Arrived badge within 100 m. The arrow follows your GPS direction of travel — it is not a magnetic compass • Export saved places as CSV or GPX • Export a snapshot of the current sky and fix as CSV WHO USES IT • Checking whether a new phone or case has a weak GNSS antenna • Waiting for a solid fix before a hike, a survey point or a drone flight • Land navigation, scouts and search and rescue with MGRS or UTM • Geocaching and sending an exact position to someone else TIPS A clear view of the sky matters more than anything else. Buildings, trees and roofs block signals. Give the phone 30 to 60 seconds outdoors for more satellites to lock on. Readings come from your phone's own location services and GNSS hardware, so results vary by device. Available in 30 languages.

What's new

Find “Get a better GPS fix” in “Menu” for the “Guide” tab. Its text distinguishes predicted visibility from received signals or a better fix. After copying coordinates or saving a location, the confirmation remains until you dismiss it.
