Bluetooth GPS For Avare 1.0.3
This free AddOn app for our free Avare appenables you to use the GPS built in to one Android device, to serveas the location sensor for one or more other devices running Avare.This enables pilots to place a secondary Android device withbuilt in GPS receiver in the optimal location for satellitereception (for example, beneath the windshield with an unobstructedview of the sky). That device's GPS data is then sent via Bluetoothby this AddOn app, to one or more other Android devices runningAvare (such as a tablet or phone attached to the aircraft controlyoke, panel, or pilot's kneeboard).Put your old Android phones to good use, and add redundancy toGPS navigation. This will convert your second device into aBluetooth GPS, so it can be placed in an appropriate location inthe aircraft, for optimum GPS signal reception. Your primarynavigation & EFB phone/tablet device(s) running Avare can thenbe placed for optimum visibility and physical access; while gettingGPS location data from your secondary device running this BluetoothGPS For Avare app.--Installation--Primary Device(s):- Install Avare- Install the Avare External I/O Plugin appSecondary Device (for GPS):- Install this Bluetooth GPS For Avare app--Setup--1. On Secondary Device, launch this Bluetooth GPS For Avareapp.2. On Primary Device(s), launch the Avare External I/O Plugin app,and then the Avare app.3. On Secondary Device, click the Enable Pairing button from thisBluetooth GPS For Avare app.4. On Primary Device(s), Pair with Secondary Device using thatdevice's Bluetooth settings.5. On Primary Device(s), launch the Avare External I/O Plugin app,and connect to Secondary Device using the External Bluetooth GPSmenu.6. On Primary Device(s), start Avare and navigate.While all this may look complex, once the initial setup is donethe routine setup and operation is fairly simple and intuitive.Note that many dedicated external GPS units will perform moreaccurately and reliably than the GPS receivers built into mostAndroid devices. This can be due to many factors including the factthat the primary purpose of external units is GPS reception; theymay receive multiple GPS bands; they may access supplementary WAAStransmissions; and they may have more sensitive receivers withbetter noise rejection. Even so, the GPS built into most Androiddevices will perform well when optimally placed, so we hope thisapp can save you some money while providing an alternate GPSsource.NOTE: Based on manufacturer and carrier implementations, Androiddevices handle Airplane Mode differently. If you use Avare inAirplane Mode to reduce battery use and the potential for radiofrequency interference, the Bluetooth transceiver in your devicemay or MAY NOT be active. It's possible that if Bluetooth isn'tworking on your device after you activate Airport Mode, it may workif you simply turn on Bluetooth again while in Airplane Mode. Youcould also further investigate how your device actually handlesairplane mode with a free tool such as Airplane Mode Modifier.Please share your feedback, questions and/or comments about thisapp on our Apps4Av Forum.

Avare External I/O Plugin 4.0.4
This is the free AddOn app for our free Avare aviation GPS &EFBapp. This app currently provides additional free connectivitytoAvare, including NMEA compatibility for using externaldedicatedADS-B and GPS receivers in Avare via a Bluetooth orWiFiconnection, NMEA output to drive autopilots, and connectionwithXPlane or Flightgear flight simulators. Actual functions basedonthis extended connectivity are being added and activelydeveloped,so you'll want to watch our Forum, Website, and the PlayStore forupdates. This Avare External I/O Plugin requires the freeAvareapp, which should be installed first. You can find Avare onGooglePlay in the list of our free apps under the "More fromdeveloper"section below. For details on installation and operationof Avarewith this I/O app and use with specific devices, please seeourwebsite and search our Forum. The basic steps for use withanexternal GPS or ADS-B receiver are: --Installation on yourAndroiddevice-- - Install Avare - Install this Avare External I/OPluginapp --Setup-- 1. Turn on the external receiver device andensurethat it's ready and transmitting data via Bluetooth (orWiFi), in alocation with clear view of the sky and near the Androiddevice. 2.On your Android device, disable GPS in the settings(optional ifyou do not want GPS from tablet internal), and ensurethatBluetooth (or WiFi) is on. 3. Launch the Avare app, gotoPreferences, and under GPS select where you want to getGPSmessages (e.g. ADS-B or GPS device), then minimize Avare usingHomebutton of Android device. 4. Launch the IO app, and connectyourAndroid device to the ADSB/GPS device via Bluetooth. 5.Minimizethe IO app (like Avare, it will continue running inbackground). 6.Return to the Avare app and your position will bedisplayed ifavailable and if other Avare settings are correct. NotethatAvare's GPS tab will be blank when using an external GPS inthisway. While all this may look complex, users report that oncetheinitial setup is done the routine setup and operation is simpleandintuitive. NOTES: *Based on manufacturer andcarrierimplementations, Android devices handle Airplane Modedifferently.If you use Avare in Airplane Mode, the Bluetoothtransceiver inyour device may or MAY NOT be active. It's possiblethat ifBluetooth isn't working on your device after you activateAirportMode, it may work if you simply turn on Bluetooth againwhile inAirplane Mode. You could also further investigate how yourdeviceactually handles airplane mode with a free tool such asAirplaneMode Modifier. *In many locations, little or no ADS-Breception maybe available, especially on the ground, so you mayneed to beflying at or above 3,000' AGL to receive ADS-B data. Ifso, you maybe able to receive at least the data from any long-haulairlinerspassing overhead transmitting ADS-B Out.
