SCREENSHOTS
DESCRIPTION
Use UptoPlay to play online the game GPS Widget - GPS Coordinates.
GPS coordinates are received from the GPS location provider or from the network location provider if GPS is not available.
The altitude is queried from open MapQuest API which yields in a more accurate result than receiving the altitude by GPS. So this widget is also interesting for hiking (altimeter).
GPS coordinates can save lifes in emergency situations (e.g. when you get lost in the mountains).
Features:
o Display your current location in numbers
o Additional information (Street, City, GPS satellite fix)
o Shows your altitude with high accuracy
Locked features (can be unlocked with some Good Karma ;-)):
o Share your location with friends via SMS, Email, etc.
o Different location formats are supported (Latitude and Longitude in Decimal Degrees, Degrees/Minutes, Degrees/Minutes/Seconds, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM))
Note 1: To save battery power you should switch off the widget when you do not need it. You can force the widget to switch off automatically after some time in the settings.
Note 2: This is no GPS toggle widget. You can not turn on and off GPS. You simply get clear information about your current location.
To add widget press: Home->Menu->Add->Widgets->GPS Widget
If you like the widget, I would be glad if you donate (its free for you) and earn some Good Karma Points in the settings view!
The widget needs the following permissions because:
o Your location: it's obvious ;-)
o Network communication: query altitude, donation via Tapjoy
o Storage*: donation via Tapjoy
o Phone calls*: donation via Tapjoy
(*) You don't want to accept these permissions? Get "GPS Widget Pro" without the option to donate -> no "Storage" and "Phone calls" permission is required.
Enjoy with UptoPlay the online game GPS Widget - GPS Coordinates.

Comments:
I just installed this app and It works very well. I am very satisfied that the widget physically shows whether the GPS is on or off. I especially appreciate that it actually shows the status as I was originally had a Windows Phone and I was very used to that system's live tiles. Thank you!
Just what I needed. Wish I could get rid of buttons off the screen. They are too big. could be accessed with a tap and not clutter
No longer working. It does not update if the app is not open. There is no option to allow location access all the time. Does not make much sense having the widget if you need to open the app in order to update. If this is fixed then it's a great tool.
Generally good. One suggestion: If the "settings" and "start and stop" buttons are hidden on the screen, the appearance will look nice. Those buttons can be made visible on long press or so.. Thanks Shiju
Does the job flawlessly. Well designed app! If only there was a way to hide the settings button (config could easily be done when setting up the widget and then changed by removing it and setting up a new one)'
