3 GPS connection

TcpGPS allows you to use two data sources: the device's internal GPS, if it has one, or an external GPS connected via Bluetooth.
In GNSS receiver connection assistant screen or Device > Connection section are available the needed options for selecting and configuring the different types of GPS receivers:
·         GNSS Internal Receiver: Use of the device’s internal GPS. Some new devices have the possibility to use the NMEA format to manage locations. In that mode, the device’s internal GPS and the NMEA format will be used. Additionally, a set of models of different brands is available for connecting with these receivers that needs an external application for receiving the GNSS data.
·         GNSS External Receiver (Bluetooth): It allows to connect to GNSS receiver through Bluetooth connection.
·         GNSS Simulator Receiver: This mode uses a file of coordinates in WGS84 to simulate the locations in the application.

Once the type of receiver is selected and the needed configuration is completed, the communication will be established by pressing Connect. With Disconnect button the application is disconnected from the current receiver.
