Cedar Rapids, Iowa | What does it do?
It's another NTRIP Client, similar to the Windows version, but for Android. It will also log the NMEA position data to a text file.
What are the requirements?
- An Android device that supports Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP).
- A GNSS receiver that can utilize correction data.
- A Bluetooth module for the GNSS receiver.
- A Real Time Network that you can get correction data from via the Internet.
- Cellular data service and good signal quality.
What is the price?
Free.
How do I get it?
On your Android device, just open the Market and search for "NTRIP".
The Bluetooth SPP requirement rules out a lot of Android devices. Some device manufacturers remove parts of the standard Android OS, and this is something they seem to commonly remove. US Cellular doesn't currently carry a single Android phone that will do Bluetooth SPP, and Verizon only has a couple. I'm using a Google Nexus One, which works nicely, but only on GSM carriers (AT&T or T-Mobile), which don't usually have great coverage in rural areas.
