Feature request: GPS and BSR
Hi BOOX Team, I want to request two software updates that will be helpful features for many people in future. 1) Ability to change the “Mock location app” Android setting for integration of an external GPS like a Garmin. 2) Ability to turn off BSR hardware graphics acceleration to save battery life. Reason for the above requests, is I use my Tab Ultra C primarily for outdoor mapping and reading PDF’s, so GPS would be handy, especially an excellent external GPS, and I really don’t need BSR when out and about. One thing that I have found helpful and really appreciate, is the Transparent screensaver, so I can still see my map, while saving some power in Sleep mode. Thanks in advance for your time and effort.

Considering that all the Qualcomm processors used by Boox have GPS (actually, multiple GNSS) built in, it's too bad that none of the devices went the extra mile to just have a little GNSS antenna.

Johann, are you saying that Boox devices successfully render maps in Android apps (albeit without location functionality)?

The processor has GPS? Holy cow.... this is so sad.... because all the work arounds with smartphone provided GPS are horrible. It would be a huge selling point for the devices and at minimal costs i guess.
Please guys, get going :)
