Bluetooth GPS

Auric Goldfinger shared this question ago

Answered

I noticed in version 4.4.3 (Gold) that locus didn't connect to my external GPS receiver anymore. Moreover, I cannot find the setting to connect to the receiver anymore...

Was this function removed? Or just moved where I cannot find it 😁

Thanks for any directions!

Hi Auric,

beginning with this version, all the external sensors are managed by the central "Sensor manager". You can access it from settings > GPS&sensors or menu > all features > set up.

turn Bluetooth on your phone on
Tap "+"
select Bluetooth 3
select GPS
your GPS unit emerges on the screen, tap "Connect" - your external GPS is added to the app

Now you have to tell Locus which GPS to use for location.

tap the GPS indicator on the main screen
tap the up-arrow next to the main "Turn on getting location" and select your external GPS:

Ha thank you!

I was aware of the new sensors screen, which is a major improvement by the way, but I missed the fact that I had to choose "Bluetooth 3". I tried Bluetooth 4.

Also, I wasn't aware of the fact that you could switch sources in the satellites screen so this information was very helpful. Thank you for that!

I so have a minor bug report then. In dark mode, the arrow key is barely visible (see attached screenshot)

Edit: I created a separate ticket for this
