Android driver for Columbus
Quote from Buckshot on March 8, 2024, 9:15 amIs there another way to set up the Columbus V800 mark3? Is there a driver file that can be loaded via usb? I am looking to use the Columbus for multiple installs and I would like to simplify and speed up the connection process. I am using the Columbus on an Android PC that does not have built in GPS.

Quote from GPSWebShop Official on March 8, 2024, 10:37 amAndroid OS operates on a "Fused Location Provider" architecture. This means it's not possible to directly input location data to an app via the USB port. To incorporate location data from an external GNSS receiver, the use of a Mock Location app is required. For a comprehensive understanding, we have prepared a blog post detailing the process.FYI -Android can be considered a variant of Linux. Therefore, you may find it helpful to consult the Linux setup instructions.https://community.gpswebshop.com/2021/06/13/how-to-connect-an-usb-gps-receiver-to-a-linux-computer/This suggestion is especially applicable if your app bypasses the Android security architecture and reads GPS data directly from serial ports, an approach I have not observed in Android apps previously. We have not experimented with this method, and it exceeds the boundaries of our support services.
