Using the Location Debugger
The Location Debugger view in Fulcrum for Android is helpful for viewing the raw GPS information that Fulcrum is receiving from the onboard or external GPS sensors. It can be particularly helpful when using 3rd-party Bluetooth GPS receivers to make sure Fulcrum is receiving location data from the right sensor.
To browse to the location tools on your Android device:
Tap the 'Settings' icon on the bottom navigation bar, available from the Home page. If you are reviewing the records of an App or collecting data, you will need to get back to the Home page in order to see the Settings icon. (Access the settings page)
Then scroll to the bottom of the settings page and tap on the Tools & Utilities button at the bottom of the About Fulcrum section.
Then select the start location debugger option.
It’s worth noting the “Provider” reading, which shows the source from which Fulcrum is receiving GPS sensor data.
Fused means data is coming from the onboard location services, including GPS and/or assisted GPS from cellular. This is the same as you’d get in day-to-day use of other mapping applications on your device.
Fused (mock) means data is coming from a mock GPS provider, meaning another third-party application that is using Android’s mock location services to provide its own readings. Third-party GPS hardware requires this to override the onboard location services.
