Location Map Viewer vs SatDump
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Location Map Viewer
The app has support for GPX and KML files, as well as the "geo URI scheme" and popular map services (google-maps, openstreetmap, yandex, ...). It can work offline (without Internet/WiFi) once geodata has been downloaded and cached. Other Android apps can use LocationMapViewer through an Intent-interface. Required Android Permissions: * INTERNET: to download map data from Open Streetmap Server * ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: to find out if wifi/internet is online to start downloaded geodata * WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (to cache downloaded map data in local file system and to load gpx/kml-Files to be displayed in the map) * ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: to display my own location in the map
SatDump
SatDump will allow you to decode a wide range of satellites, exactly as it would on your computer. With a compatible SDR device and necessary hardware, most Android devices will be able to receive and process NOAA APT & DSB, LRPT and even HRPT and most S-Band satellites! This includes many weather, science, and other generic missions. If you also happen to be in range of a geostationnary satellite such as GOES, GK-2A or similar you will also be able to do all processing directly on your Android device. Especially on a phone, a good usecase is receiving 137Mhz weather satellites on the go. Supported SDRs : - RTL-SDR - Airspy - Airspy HF - MiriSDR - LimeSDR Mini
