Suggestion. NMEA GPS support via Bluetooth

The Earthmate (android) app works, but it's very limited and the maps are too poor.


I do trekking for many years.

I've been using the OziExplorer app since 2008, with my maps (very detailed).

The Android smartpone is paired with an external Bluetooth GPS (Qstarz BT-Q1000X) that attaches to the backpack, in the best position in view of the sky.

This is a great configuration for me. Tested over the years.



Now I bought inReach Mini, thinking of being able to use it as an external GPS.

But it does not work.

When I connect inReach Mini to Android, I get the error:

Connection error. Read failed. Sock might closed or timeout. RET: -1



I suggest to Garmin to implement in InReach Mini, the GPS NMEA function, via bluetooth.

Thank you
