This app was mentioned on the Missileworks T3 product page and is fairly new (2021). I haven't seen it mentioned on the forum previously.
GPS Connector
It is a basic app that reads the NMEA data stream from the receiver unit into your Android device via BlueTooth. It prominently displays lat/lon that you then copy into your favorite GPS compass or map tool to navigate to your rocket. (I like the GPS Essentials app on my phone and/or Garmin Etrex handheld.)
There is a terminal tab that continuously scrolls the NMEA sentences. These can be saved to a log file and shared for further plotting and post-processing.
I successfully paired GPS Connector to the HC-06 BlueTooth module of my Missileworks T3 receiver. The litmus test of these kinds of apps for me is that they do not lose connection if my phone is timed-out, locked, or rotated from portrait to landscape. In my short test, GPS Connector seems fine.
This is a nice simple app to get the lat/lon/alt values of your rocket location and reliably save the log file. For integrated mapping, there is always Rocket Locator and Rocket Track.
