The activation Button Problem

By the last annual mandatory update, activation button gone under the battery icon. FYI

Awesome way to get NMEA GPS on portable Linux setups!

Using this to get GPS data to my Ubuntu server setup for kismet during prototyping. The lite version didn’t work but I took the leap and it was well worth it. Works perfectly with my IPhone 16 Pro Max, even in background mode. Exactly what I needed!! Keep up the great work!

Works with OpenCPN!

Works with OpenCPN, had to use AI to help me get it going, so far working good.

Activation button problems

The app works great! However, I have an issue on my iPhone when using the Large Text option under Display settings. The GPS tether activation button gets hidden under the battery indicator in the top right corner, making it inaccessible. I would really appreciate it if this could be fixed in a future update. Thank you
