• Every visible satellite from every constellation: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS
• Sky plot with azimuth and elevation
• Signal-to-noise bars per satellite
• Real-time fix quality, HDOP, accuracy

PRECISE POSITION

• Altitude (GNSS + barometer when available)
• Speed, course, magnetic heading
• Configurable units: metric, imperial, or nautical

MAPS AND TRACKS
• OpenStreetMap with tile caching for limited connectivity
• Record tracks with one tap, in foreground or background

• Notifications: used for the foreground service notification showing live recording stats
• Storage: used only when you import or export GPX files

Note: GNSS accuracy depends on your device's hardware, sky visibility, and environment. Indoor use and dense urban canyons will degrade fix quality on any GPS app.
