DDK Navigator
DDK Nav is a simple and effective application that enhances the accuracy of the GPS measurements from your mobile phone. The application initially uses the mobile phones GPS measurement, and then removes the majority of the errors that are contained in each position fix. This will result in up to 70% increase in your position accuracy.
DDK Nav is a subscription based service. You can try out the service free for the first 14 day.
- It enhances the GPS positioning within your smart phone.

DDK NAV works with both GPS and Glonass enabled smartphones. It will also work with Galileo enabled smart phones as they come on line.
The service will NOT work if your smartphone is using SBAS as part of the GPS calculation.
The service is open to any other phone that uses GPS for location services.
The Enhanced service will be available to users who use the application, and for users of applications that implement the correction API directly. All other applications will continue to use the phone's generated GPS location.
Permissions required:
- Location: Required to correct your GPS location
- Internet / mobile data connection: Used to fetch correction data for use within the app.
- Storage access: Required to Log GPS data

Unable to test app. On my ZTE Blade Z Max, app told me I had SBAS so I could not test on phone. I then installed app on my ASUS Tablet model p027, when starting the service I get a GPS fix but do not see the comparison. This is most likely due to app not identifying the gps receiver. The reason for the low score is there is no feedback function in the settings! Also when I went to the web site did not find contact info. So this is the only way I have found to give feedback!
Good idea, but I understood this doesn't work with Google Maps? Where's the list of Android devices this has been tested on? Huawei P20 Pro 128?
Never connected to server, neither on wifi nor mobile. Can't determine if it works
The app said "This device already supports SBAS", but my GPS is very inaccurate.
subscription not active. who do we need to contact to fix this? will this actually improve anything?
Doesn't connect to a "subscription service" and I'm using the S21+
If it is charged based on perpetrual license it will be good. Till it becomes lifetime license, it will remains 1 star.
Revising my old review. It works fine if you have a subscription now.
Not available for a free trial, and also cannot purchase.
Good app. But how to open
Much better accuracy than available through the phone gps
Apparently must have either monthly or yearly paid subscription to work. I see no free trial period. Don't need this, my GPS is quite accurate anyway. I'm also suspicious of apps that need snooping permissions.
This subscription is just ridiculous? Don't waste your time or money on this
Works great with the companion app by the same publisher. Haven't tried importing a kmz or running it through a navigation testing course yet, but it does seem to have an significant increase in accuracy. Yes it would be better if it could work with the Google fused API to increase the accuracy in other navigation apps but as it is currently its still helpful. The subscription for "hosting costs" seems a bit high (for hosting) so we'll see how long I keep it after the first year. The community..
