## What is GNSS View?

This application enables you to see where the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System in the sky！

●What is QZSS？
Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) is a Japanese satellite positioning system composed mainly of satellites in quasi-zenith orbits (QZO).
Satellite positioning systems use satellite signals to calculate position information. One famous example is the American Global Positioning System (GPS) and the QZSS is sometimes called the Japanese GPS.
For details, please refer to the following Website "Quasi-Zenith Satellite System".

●What is GNSS View？
GNSS View provides that iOS version application that is based on the website application "GNSS View". 
This application enables you to know position of positioning satellites such as QZSS and GPS in the specified time and location.
The positioning satellites displayed in the GNSS View are not based on the satellite information directly received by the smartphone but are displayed based on the satellite arrangement calculated based on the publicly released orbit information.

●GNSS View 3 functions
【Main】
・You can move to the Position Radar screen or AR Display screen from the application startup screen.
・You can see the operating manual and privacy policy of this application via the website.

【Position Radar】
・It is provided radar view of positioning satellites such as QZSS and GPS as a sky plot at the specified time and location.
・Positioning satellites can be specified from QZSS, GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, SBAS.
・You can also select specified signal satellites to see on the radar.
・You can see selected satellites by setting elevation mask angle.
・You can switch east and west of satellite arrangement, turn on / off rotation, and switch on / off display of satellite number.
・It displays HDOP, VDOP, the total number of satellites and the number of each positioning satellites in the satellite arrangement displayed on the radar.

【AR Display】
・Position of positioning satellites such as QZSS and GPS on the sky from your current location is able to see through your camera at the specified time.
・In order to display satellites, it is necessary to turn on the position information of the smartphone and complete the positioning. Therefore, it may take time to display.
・Positioning satellites can be specified from QZSS, GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, SBAS.
・You can also select specified signal satellites to see on the radar.
・You can see selected satellites by setting elevation mask angle.

### 2/5 — Количество спутников

*2025-07-03, version 5.0.3*

В приложении перепутаны опции отображения количества спутников. При выборе GLONASS L1,L2 отображается 9 спутников, а при выборе L1,L2,L3 отображается 2 спутника. Почему не наоборот? Исправьте это!

### 5/5 — 👍🏽

*2025-06-29*

It works, it does what it says it will. 

Thank you Developer-san.

### 1/5 — Показывает небосвод из параллельной реальности.

*2025-03-25, version 5.0.3*

Не понятно откуда берет информацию приложение. То что видит в данный момент gnss приемник и то какую картинку показывает эта приложуха - совсем разные вещи. Про то, что оно не умеет показывать фактически наблюдаемые спутники я промолчу.

### 4/5 — DLしたけど日本語に対応してない

*2020-12-23*

せめて言語設定で英語(共通言語なので有るのはいいと思うが)と日本語(日本のストアでDL出来るんだから)くらいは選べるようにして欲しい

### 5/5 — Benutze das seit Jahren

*2020-06-25*

Ist die beste (einzige?) App, um vor dem Dronenflug zu sehen, ob genug Satelliten-Signale empfangen werden, zum sicheren navigieren. Und wo genau die Dinger gerade am Himmel stehen. Jetzt oder auch in einer Stunde. AR zeigt, ob sie zB hinter einem Haus oder Berg sind. 
Das ist sooo cool, wenn zum Abheben mindestens x Satelliten gebraucht werden. Falls nur GPS verwendet werden kann? Kein Problem. Kann die App filtern. Oder GPS und Galileo? Kann man auch einstellen. 
Danke!

### 3/5 — 勘違い

*2020-06-04*

スマホの受信しているGPSが表示されているわけではないので、GPSの受信状況を確認するアプリではなかった。

### 5/5 — Great App

*2019-09-10, version 4.0.2*

AR view is awesome. Prior to this app I had a hard time visualizing satellite locations, orientations, and configurations.  Thank you!

### 5/5 — AR

*2018-12-17, version 3.1.1*

Gyroscope work well with AR functionality! No issue with the app. Would be nice to tap on the satellite and get more informations. Great app

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2018-09-28, version 3.1.1*

This is an amazing useful tool if you need to know were satellites are in the sky and if they are being blocked by trees are buildings. The most useful application come along in a long time.

### 5/5 — Excellent application.

*2018-02-06, version 3.1.0*

Gives a lot of useful informations about GPS constellation.
Seems also to have a pretty good precision.
Bottom line, I like it.
Hope developer will keep it updated.
