Version 4.x
This version is a from the ground up rewrite to align with the many changes that Android releases have introduced. It's been tested on Android 4.1, 8.1 and 9. Please send the built in email if you experience an app crash.
The GPX file created is good enough to show tracks on a map but it will not contain XML tags for all the data captured. Use the PC app bt747 to create a GPX file from the binary (.bin) download.

1 ★ Tested on Sony Z2 tabet and HTC M7. Android 5.02.
5 ★ Works really well. Allows changes of most settings. Does not support changing 5hz capable gps to 5hz.
4 ★ IMHO the best for my Holux M-241
5 ★ Does it's job as promised and it is even possible to update AGPS data without the need of a Computer! Three thumbs up!
5 ★ Works great for what I need. Only program out there that can change the logging settings.
2 ★ I find the potential for this app quite appealing. Unfortunately, it is just not very consistent. I can usually connect via bluetooth without problems. I've only managed to download a .bin file once. Even then, it initially failed. I suspected it may have bee the size. I cleared the bin files, turned on the GPS for a few minutes, then downloaded the resultant .bin. That worked fine, and I could convert it to a GPX file. Otherwise download fails with: Download failed Download aboarted I turned on trace/verbose and just see pretty much the same thing. Sometimes the progress bar will get to 20% or so, and pause, then the message. The log just seems to show a timeout error. This is the last few entries: **** pref_cSize=2048, waiting for 1 PMTK182,8 responses == GPSrxtx: ++++ reading from device, waiting for: PMTK182,8, timeout: 60.0 == GPSrxtx: ++++ readBytes timeout:0.0 read:0 bytes == GPSrxtx: ###### no bytes read from device! **** IOException:java.io.IOException: no bytes read from device! logDnldFragment - logDownload.errorWhileDownloading() logDnldFragment - writeToMainTextArea(Download failed) **** Download aborted logDnldFragment - logDownload.cleanup() logD
5 ★ Had some issues with my ASUS tablet but developer provided a custom version to work on my (small screen ) mobie phone which works OK. Great support - thanks
3 ★ 1. Had to connect to device - app needs restart to see gps device. 2. crashing too much often. 3. App freezing/stucking while downloading gps track data. 4. Unable to choose different download folder - it says that folder is empty and there is no ability to select folder, only go back/exit/parent. Overall, give 3 stars and not one because the app has great potential. Hovewer, uninstalled, moved to another app. HTC One X.
4 ★ Nice
