GPSHelper is the Swiss army knife software for your device's GPS, useful for facilitating the GPS fix, seeing its status, and many other useful functions.

How is the application used?

The application is started, positioning itself in situations where a GPS signal can normally be received (it can also happen inside the house but it is more difficult), that is to say in the open air and possibly in movement so that the satellites can triangulate. At that point it is sufficient to wait a few moments to see the first satellites that are received, some satellites detected if there are no hardware or software defects the gps chip performs the fix. At this point you can send the application in the background and open a browser software or for example Google Maps.
All this usually happens in a few seconds as per the examples below of some satisfied users, and others that have documented their feedback in the forum or in the market.

Sometimes if the GPS has a cache that has "unpacked" the phone's GPS chip (for example some Galaxy S), it may be necessary to either remove the GPS cache (where possible) or wait a little longer.

At the moment it appears to be the best FIX application for GPS on Android without needing root privileges, or making special phone changes.

Unfortunately due to some changes in the policy of the play store, I had to remove from here some testimonies of times of fixes by some users. But you can read the others by dozens of satisfied users in the various reviews, some of them are truly amazing!

Regarding the introduction of graphics in the application I am having some problems from someone. Read here to learn more: http://goo.gl/SqqU1

Information regarding the elevation measurement

Those who complain about the poor accuracy of the altitude measurement, please read the following indications.
I write this information regarding the altimeter to let you know about some news, which thanks to reports from some of you allowed me to investigate better.
The earth as you know is not perfectly round, nor is it perfectly elliptical, rather an ellipsoid. This complex shape is called "geoid" and is the shape that the surface of the sea would have if the planet were completely covered with water. Follow on: http://goo.gl/hU3wO

We thank the AndroidWorld.it forum for the kind collaboration, and all those with reviews, both with positive and non feedback, helped the application to become a small Italian success.

For support, see the official website.
Also come to the forum if you want to request additional features.

Known issues:
a) Sony Tablet S menu button with ICS 4.0.3 does not work.
b) The nexus, and in general some mobile phones with Android version 4.3, receive an "error" due to Android itself when exiting the program with the exit button. This does not affect the normal operation of the application. This anomaly seems to have finally been resolved starting from Android 5.0 Lollipop.

I remind you how to get support or request a refund, even after the time allowed by Google:
