Title: Issues with QSTAR BL-1000ST external GPS
Post by: nsanson on August 27, 2025, 20:06:14
Hi, I am writing this email because I really appreciate Locus Map. Since I read in this forum that someone was able to use QSTARZ as external device, I just bought QSTARZ BL-1000ST to obtain GPS data from it.

As I configured it (Bluetooth pairing works in Locus Map, it says connected), I cannot see any saltellite data inside Locus Map when I choose as external GPS sensor the  "QSTARZXXXXX device"

The device shall send GNSS data to Locus Map directly. Am I missing  to make it works?

Locus is upgraded to last version available for Android 15

Thanks in advance

A Little addition: When the QSTARZ BL-1000ST is connected in the GPS & Sensor screen of Locus Map, it says "no valid data"

I would like to share NMEA logs as suggested in other threads, enabling Settings > GPS & Sensors > NMEA recording and app then records data into "app/data/nmea" directory. Unfortunately with Android 15 we can no longer access to app/data without rooting the device...
