What do I do if my GPS sensor loses its position? How can I check whether my tablet is receiving satellites?

A number of free applications are available to help you assess satellite reception. These applications allow you to observe the constellations (Galileo, GPS, GLONASS) and satellites detected by your GNSS sensor, as well as information about its accuracy. Here are a few examples:

1. GPSTest & chart

2. GPS Test

3. GPS Status & Toolbox

If the accuracy of your GPS sensor decreases, a simple solution is to reset it. To do this, you can use the GPS Reset / Repair application, available to download from the following address: GPS Reset / Repair.
