Yes but what I need is a replacement of internal gps for satnav software, just like symbian garmin mxt which can support internal or external gps

No there isn't. Those programs which you talk about, and I think of which Bluetooth GPS is one such program, is merely Bluetooth GPS capable. In can talk to a Bluetooth GPS and display that information in that application only
There may even be tracking programs which can use Bluetooth. But there is no way, at the moment, to tell Android to ignore the inbuilt GPS and use an external Bluetooth GPS for the Location Manager service.
In other words, MyTracks, CardioTrainer, Sports Tracker, Google Maps etc, they can't be made to listen to a Bluetooth GPS.
Well, unless someone wants to rewrite libgps.so using Bluetooth GPS as inspiration.
If you wanted to go one further and decompile the current libgps.so so you could have the choice between inbuilt GPS and Bluetooth GPS, be my guest.

[Q] How can I figure out what application is accessing my GPS?

Hello everyone. I was wondering how can I find out what application is calling onto the GPS. I haven't installed anything new, and I've found my GPS icon flashing all day today and I have NO clue what it could be! So is there any way to figure out what application is calling the GPS?
Thank you very much.

Even if you haven't installed any third party app.. Weather, Google home page, social hub, latitude, places all these apps will keep updating the location. If you want to disable this better check off the the location service.

navigation not working

hello guys my google navigation isn't working its waiting for location all the day
why??

Already tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494862

i have no root

Try "gps test" from google play. Go outdoor start gps, turn off internet access, start the app and wait until 30 min, if the can’t get satellites and fix them after 30 you have a hardware problem. In other case all is OK

Notice that sygic works normally

Search for another version of Gmaps in google, an instalable .apk

Also google maps gets my location perfectly but only navigation

Navigation is a part of Maps!

So how to download it??
**I had old lg one also wasn't work but the message is different "Not enabled in your country"

Just search in google for "Google Maps 6.3.0 Apk", or "Google Maps v5.12.0" or what you want.

http://www.apktops.com/google-maps-6-3-0-worldwide-navigation-activated.html
I found this but Application not installed I don't have root
What is the solution??

Normaly there is no need to be root, it's signed. Have you try to install it?
I have a Optimus black, an no problem with maps and navigator. I have the actual Map 6.7.0. The only issue, is that the compass don't work in maps. The compass works in 5.x versions.
Just try you can't destroy nothing.
Regards.

I tried
it told me app not installed
May it cuz my location??

Try this: http://www.mediafire.com/?ah6v4zd4gtdo542

I will try to use navigation now

only google nav has problems here
hi there,
Do you recognize this?
Google Navigation constantly looses its gps fix, almost at every turn.
Other navigation software like NavFree has no problem at all.
It is almost as if Google Navigation resets the GPS sensor when it is too slow to keep up (not driving too fast though).
Any ideas?

why do you want so badly google maps??? if sygic works for you its a very good navigation program. also google maps need gprs connection to work charging you instead of sygic that it's maps are on the phone.

You can try google map offline. Download offline map when you are on wifi.

does it also finds our location offline...

Sure! Ace has a GPS module. You can try it with a gps info app on the Play Store (fix will take a few minutes without internet connection and be sure to be outside in and open space).
Inviato dal mio GT-S5830

U can have offline maps but they dont seem to function as well as online maps, because they instantaneously detect your location based on GPS with needs internet to locate you !
And when u want any directions or navigation better to use Online Gmaps, !

[Q] GPS problem

Hi my gps won't lock on satellites using waze or igo... Anyone knows how I can fix that?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2

You could try top ntp from the play store. It worked for me on my i9001 with cm9.
Read the instructions&Good luck!

You could try faster fix app to change the ntp servers and something else, search for it. Also GPS Status or GPS Test app has an option to update your A-GPS data for a much faster fix.
