About

Satellite displays global navigation satellite system (GNSS: that's GPS, Galileo, Glonass etc.) data obtained from an NMEA source in your device. ModemManager, gnss-share, gps-share and gpsd sources are supported. You can use it to check the navigation satellite signal strength and see your speed, coordinates and other parameters once a fix is obtained. It can also save GPX-tracks.
