Using external GPS receivers

Besides the embedded GPS receiver of your device, CarryMap app supports external GPS receivers. Using these GPS receivers allows you to specify coordinates of your current location more accurately.

To connect GPS receiver that supports NMEA data transmission, enable Bluetooth on your device and all available receivers will be shown in the appeared list. Select the required GPS hardware and confirm that you want to pair devices. *

After that go to CarryMap app.

If GPS receiver has been connected, you would see the appropriate message:

External GPS receiver has been connected.

If by some reason receiver works inappropriately, CarryMap app will automatically use the embedded GPS receiver of your device (if geolocation option is enabled), and the appropriate message will appear:

Connection with external GPS receiver has been lost. Temporarily the embedded GPS receiver of your device is being used.

If geolocation option is disabled on your device and GPS receiver works inappropriately, you will see the warning message:

Connection with external GPS receiver has been lost. Reconnect external device or enable GPS location option to use the embedded GPS receiver of your device .

To be able to find your current location, make sure to enable the geolocation option on your device or check the GPS receiver connection.

* Note that making all connection settings for devices is done outside CarryMap app and must be completed according to the specific GPS receiver's connection instructions.

The CarryMap app location option has been tested using a Bad Elf GPS receiver.
