Using the SP60 From an Android Platform
SP60 can be controlled from an Android platform, such as
the Spectra Precision MobileMapper 50. This section
explains what to use this type of platform with the SP60.
Connecting an
Android Platform
to the SP60
Connecting an Android platform to the SP60 is not just a
matter of making a physical connection via Bluetooth.
Beforehand, you also need to install and run a specific
software interface on the Android platform. This application
is called “SPace” and is available from Spectra Precision via
Google Play.
SPace will smoothly let your Android application use position
data delivered by the SP60.
Installing SPace
SPace may be downloaded from Google Play (search for
“Spectraprecision” applications and then find “SPace” in the
list of available applications).
Direct link to installation file:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/
details?id=com.spectraprecision.android.space
Then follow the instructions to install the application on your
Android platform.
Making SP60 the
“Position
Provider”
The first time you run SPace on your Android platform, a
message will show up asking you to activate
Allow mock
locations
(unless already done).
• Tap
Yes
. This opens the
Developer Options
submenu in the
Settings
menu.
• Scroll down until you see the
Allow mock locations
option.
• Activate this option and then return to the home screen.
NOTE: Enabling
Allow mock locations
allows the Android
platform to use the position provided by the SP60 rather than
the one delivered by its own embedded GNSS receiver. When
you are finished using SP60, disable
Allow mock locations
on
the Android platform. The function of “position provider” will
then be restored to the embedded GNSS receiver.
