It might have been given five stars as I can install the app on my mobile and see the information which is great but when I try to install it on to the Huawai smart watch on android 2.0 all it seems to do is try to install on the watch and won't finish the installation. There is plenty of room on the watch and is fully charged. This was an app I was looking for my watch but I guess I won't know how it is on my watch now. Anyone any answers to what's going on.

Handy utility, still not quite sure what the 0/0/2 at the bottom of the status screen means.. in view/in use/something else? Sadly the Marshmallow update seems to have seriously compromised the GPS performance on the Sony SW3 with now frequent losses of lock and much larger inaccuracies.

Does NOT install on Moto 360 2nd Gen with AW2.0. I can install the app on my phone and see the information, but when I try to install it on the actual watch, it doesn't finish the installation and errors out. There is plenty of room on the watch and is fully charged. Bummer, looked like a good one... Uninstalling as it's useless (at the moment). Hopefully the developer fixes this.

Works flawlessly on LG Watch Urbane 2 LTE! I fire it up before tracking my runs with Endomondo. Can't say enough good things about this app. Thank you!!!!!

Was unable to acquire GPS on my moto 360 sport, this app seemed to have resolved it.

Despite what the description states this does work on the 360 sport. The issue is just some truncation of the text due to the round face on the 360. Otherwise simple tool for testing the in-built gps.

About this app

For android wear 2.0 devices use : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.trackwear.gnss&hl=en


This is an app for seeing the current state of the device's gps.

This is a quick conversion of an open source project found here: https://github.com/barbeau/gpstest
Its been converted for compatibility on Android wear devices, designed for the Sony smartwatch 3 but it will work for any android wear GPS enabled device, like the moto 360 sport. Though its not been updates to support the round screen correctly.

The original app can be found here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.gpstest
