GPS Cockpit & Head-Up Display
About this app
Features:
GPS Cockpit finds your device's location via GPS and shows most relevant data in a cockpit style. You can also see the list of visible satellites with their identifiers and signal quality. Location coordinates can be copied to clipboard, shared, or opened in a maps app, if installed. Clearing A-GPS aiding data is also supported. Speed range can be selected by clicking on the speedometer. A left swipe on the speedometer will show an altimeter instead. When the START button is pressed travel distance is recorded (horizontal movement and also accumulated up and down movements). A change is only recognized and added to the distance if the position changes by more than 2x GPS accuracy for horizontal movement and 3x GPS accuracy for vertical movements and only if accuracy is at least 15m. A flipped view for use as head-up display is also available.
A tile in quick settings allows you to enable/disable GPS lock.
Required permissions: - GPS to access location - REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS, WAKE_LOCK, FOREGROUND_SERVICE for keeping GPS active in background if requested by user ("LOCK GPS")
No ads, no trackers.

How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be org.woheller69.gpscockpit is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 2.8 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall GPS Cockpit first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of GPS Cockpit, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
