Why would you want to do that? In the experience of the developers of the app, GNSS receivers are often characterized by a complex, proprietary data interface that differs for each manufacturer. In practice, this leads to significant investments in understanding interfaces and software tools. Human operators must familiarize themselves with the commands used to configure each receiver as well as with proprietary graphical user interfaces and tools specific to each receiver. The authors’ app-centric approach provides a software framework and output format that remain the same for different receivers. Receiver-specific commands are configurable within the app, so users can easily attach new receivers while reusing the existing infrastructures for data collection and processing. And smartphones have more than enough power and connectivity to do the job and can be easily moved from site to site. The smartphone as a handheld device to help scientists study the ionosphere? Probably not even Clive Sinclair foresaw that.
