GPS Connector

Hello - I am looking to save NMEA data coming in from USB GPS. I can see sentences scrolling in from Terminal window. I expect the Save button is the one to use but when I press it, it just turns grey. Now maybe it is saving data somewhere but I have no idea where that is - there doesn't seem to be anything in Settings to configure this. I would hope pressing Save again might close a save file, but that does nothing either - the button just stays grey. I can only get the Save button to go back blue by exiting the app and starting it again. Pixel 6, Android 16

Sorry if this is incorrect forum category to ask, but no other category seemed seemed applicable

Thanks

Hi,

maybe the user-interface is not very intuitive here, sorry!

Once you clicked the save action the data is stored in your internal app directory.
If you are done you can share the result by just tap on the "share" button.

Hello Mazuch -
Thank you for the quick reply to my question. What you suggested does indeed work to save an NMEA file : Mash the Save button, then the Share button to halt saving. And Share allows the data to go almost anywhere - an email to myself or saved to my Android storage with a file manager. I don't think I can get into internal app directory but it doesn't matter, Share does everything I need.

So far I am really pleased with GPS Connect, thanks for all your work on it.

Hi Snowbank,

You're welcome.

No - that is blocked by Android since version 10. You need a rooted device to access the internal app folders.
This was one of the reasons why i implemented a share - action ...
