Mock location not mandatory

Open Stefal opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

A few weeks ago, I trained some new RTK users. I've show them various Ntrip clients app. They were more interested with bluetooth gnss because it's a FOSS app. But some of the users had a smartphone from their companies....and with many security restrictions. They can't enable the dev mod to activate the mock location settings. For these users, mock location was not mandatory. As Bluetooth_gnss can't start if mock location isn't enabled, they can't use this app.

Do you think it's possible to add an option to set mock location as mandatory or not?

Best

Thanks for this suggestion and always great to hear people interested in this humble hobby app.

That's a great idea, i'll try to keep it in mind for the next release (dont know when haha) - i wanted to add map view 'phone gnss' vs 'remote gnss device' locations, geotagged photo view (that will use location from the gnss device), geotagged local phone sensors, remote sensors (for later analysis in PC like QGIS/Kepler.gl/GoogleEarth/Spatialite/PostGIS etc) << all these dont need mock location and might be useful for some users.

Great,

In my case, the usage was to gives a better accuracy to images. These images are then uploaded on a Panoramax instance.
