Description

From the listing uploaded by “apps”.

This is an app for seeing the current state of the device's gps. This is a quick conversion of an open source project found here: https://github.com/barbeau/gpstest Its been converted for compatibility on Android wear devices, designed for the Sony smartwatch 3 but it will work for any android wear GPS enabled device, like the moto 360 sport. Though its not been updates to support the round screen correctly yet. The original app can be found here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.gpstest All credit goes to the original app.
