($GPGGA appears correct)

OpenCPN uses mainly the GPRMC message. And yours looks a little suspect.

I see "-82-14.433" in the stream. Not correct.
But this could be an artifact of the display program.

As recommended elsewhere, please show the OpenCPN NMEA debug window, so that we can see the exact sentences received by OCPN.

And, if it is not obvious, please try all this outdoors, with a clear view of the sky, so that we can eliminate that variable from consideration.

Where do i find the OpenCPN NMEA debug window,

[bcn]

Options|Connections --> NMEA debug Window

[Boatscuba]

I did not have such a way of finding this is this on my phone settings or this is through the app settings cuz I have searched and I cannot find anything like that on the app

[bcn]

It's exactly the same under Android.

From the tool bar click on the wrench symbol opening the Options

[seandepagnier]

The debug window works on android.

From the options (click wrench on toolbar) then "Connections" tab. Now check the debug window, and hit "cancel" to close the options

[Boatscuba]

I'm sorry to look like such an idiot but this is all new to me and I certainly appreciate your help here is the screenshot you looking for

[bcn]

That's the one.

If you put the screen in landscape mode to show the complete NMEA sentence?

[Boatscuba]

How on Earth do you find Landscaping mode now I feel such like an idiot

[Boatscuba]

Is calling allowed in these forums I'm not technically savvy. 941 549 1420 paul

Turning the device 90 degrees?

[Boatscuba]

This is landscape mode don't think it's made any difference

[seandepagnier]

there is no question the gui has a lot of problems on android.. try rotating the screen 90 degrees to make it landscape, and perhaps we can read the full nmea sentence that is truncated here.

I can fix all of this and so could dave, but we just don't have the time. Everything has to be rewritten for android gui.

So far I have built 17 plugins in the last week or so, and they sort of all work on android.

I try to attach apk if you remove the doc extension.
