Overview
Mad Location Manager is an Android library written in Java that fuses GPS and accelerometer data with a Kalman filter. The goal is better position accuracy and more reliable distance calculation, mainly for driver and courier apps and other on-demand tracking services. The README says it reduces route tracking errors, dampens noise from low-class smartphones and removes sharp jumps to points far from the real route. A newer version lives in a separate repository.
Key features
- Fuses GPS and accelerometer data with a Kalman filter
- Reduces noise from low-class smartphones
- Removes sharp jumps away from the real route
- Includes a visualiser and a demo app
Best for
Android developers building driver, courier or tracking apps who need cleaner GPS distance. The README points to a newer version with many fixes in another repository.
