I have managed to test GPS connection using the share GPS app.
Connecting from my phone to my laptop via bluetooth.
Though not perfect, it did work. Probably requires a bit of tweaking.
The navigation map screen briefly "blanked" every 15 or so seconds

QField (android app) + Trimble R2 + Win10 Tablet
Hello Morco,
I have tried just about everything to get an android app with live GPS tracking (QField) running on a Windows Laptop. AMIDuOS is my last hope.
I have tried to replicate your descriptions. Unfortunately they don't work for me. Neither using "GPS hardware" with a COM port that is linked to NMEA phrases from shareGPS app. (I have checked with Tera Term that the COM port actually receives the NMEA phrases). Neither by activating "location" in Win10 settings using a default location. AMI DuOS never receives any position information.
My questions: did the direct com port connection with gps signal from share GPS app work for you without any intermittent software? Should AMIDuOS be able to read the NMEA phrases from the port? Is any special setup necessary?
Do you have any tips on what else I could try?
Thanks so much in advance. I'm in desperate need to get QField android app running on a WIN10 Tablet, connected to a bluetooth Trimble R2 GNSS Antenna.Last edited by QFieldUser; 13th May 2020 at 09:22 AM. Reason: clarifications
