External GNSS

When phone GPS isn't enough, feed the app from dedicated hardware — up to centimeter-class RTK accuracy.

receiver types

MFi receivers (Bad Elf, Garmin GLO, Dual) work automatically through iOS and don't need pairing here. The External GNSS screen is for BLE receivers that stream NMEA, such as RTK rovers.

pairing

Scan & connect

Open Settings → GPS Source → External GNSS Receiver, tap Scan, and select your receiver from the list.

Use External Receiver

Flip the toggle and the app's position, altitude and speed come from the external receiver instead of the phone.

Status

The screen shows the live NMEA feed status: satellites in use, fix type — including RTK float/fixed — and signal details, so you know exactly what quality you're navigating on.
