can i share the gps coordinates using bluetooth (or wifi communication but it would be better for me bluetooth) instead of using a wire? I'm also using a ESP32 similar to yours.
very interesting! I was playing with the a9g board from ai-thinker the other day and ditched the project after a long struggle with linking it to a server to display coordinates remotely. I'm wondering if this is the solution to my project.
I installed the program on the phone (Huawei with USB and OTG support) and also uploaded the code in the GitHub link to the board, when I connect the board to the computer serial, it outputs and everything is correct. But when I connect to the phone and run your program, only the welcome page and your RUclips link are shown and nothing else happens! What is the problem?
If only the starting screen is displayed, that means that the app still hasn't received any data from the board, maybe the connection is not great, sometimes the ports get old and the data can't be transferred properly... Also, at least your phone location should be present, see whether you have allowed it, try to turn it on, or maybe add permission, if you still have the problem, tell me I will try to help you.
Just connect it with the phone using Bluetooth, and turn on your GPS signal on your phone (if you wanna see your current phone location) and you are good to go. I have another video on my channel, that we did with one friend of mine, where we used actual hardware too. Check it out if you like.
HI Slavko i upload the code example on an Arduino Uno the serial port displays the GPS coordinates but when I launch the application on my SAMSUNG S6 edge via OTG cable nothing happens just a blue icon which is the position of the cell phone in a place in the USA but I am in France and then the map becomes small and shows the world map and then nothing happens! What is the problem ? Thanks for the help
Seems like the app is unable to get your current location. Try to see whether the phone can retrieve the location using the Google app, and tell me whether it is okay with their app. After that, we are going to continue troubleshooting 🙂
@@SlavkosHobbyChannel Hi Slavko My S6 edge has the GPS locator activated of course and on Google map it is perfectly located. I tried this afternoon with 3 different cell phones from my friend Samsung S51 Samsung S20 Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 with the 2 samsungs on the play store the application is not available for download. we downloaded with pc. The 3 cell phones launch the application but after the subscribe page, a light blue background appears with the blue mobile icon. I hope you can find the problem because I need this project to find my RC glider when it is lost. Which cell phone did you use with your friend for the bike test and which version of Android? Have you recently tested again. thanks for the help
@@J.Navelo I checked the problem, and it was again Android (Google) changed something in their policies, so I fixed the problem, and I will send an update for review.
@@SlavkosHobbyChannel Hi Slavko Thanks for finding the solution. I updated the application v1.7 but the problem remains the same my position is wrong and no trace of GPS coordinates with the example of the code you gave. Google map works well. Does this work for you? This afternoon I tried with my friend's Samsung A51. the application is now visible for the downloaded yesterday it was not. When I open the application the cell phone's position is in the middle of the ocean something is wrong in the app. I spent money to buy the electronic components when I saw your videos on YT but if the app doesn't work I don't know what to do.
Hi, I want to do the same. Is it possible to display multiple different tracker positions? Maybe in different colours or numbers in the position icon? Another question, is it possible to use offline maps?
Great video, just what I am trying to pass GPS live coordinates to an Android phone via WiFi to display on a map.
Okay, I got the demo working, now how do I obtain the code to open a new map view relative to my location, to display live positions?

Now your app is avilable in the playastore or not 🤔?
Please check the links in the description
Does it need extra settings on the phone or its ready to go as soon as you connect the esp32?
Just connect it with the phone using Bluetooth, and turn on your GPS signal on your phone (if you wanna see your current phone location) and you are good to go. I have another video on my channel, that we did with one friend of mine, where we used actual hardware too. Check it out if you like.

Hi, when I have more free time, I will check the problem. Maybe some permission-related stuff, android has that problem.

is the app source code available to download ?
I cannot find the app on the play store, can you provide a direct download link?
I have put the link in the description
This app is perfect for a project I am working on. However, is it able to track multiple gps devices using the esp32 as a hub?
I want to track up to 10 gps beacons which will all use esp8266 and beam their gps coordinates to the esp32 via Lora.
