Waterford Walls is a street art festival that has been taking place every year in Ireland since 2015. there are still one or two that i havent found yet but ive got most of them mapped out at this stage so it should make it easier for others to find them, especially the ones that are off the beaten track

(for people outside Waterford or Ireland: the photos i took from the 2017 and 2018 festival can be found on wikimedia. the art from previous years can be found on the Waterford Walls instagram page)

external gps devices arent as easy to use with android as they are on iphone. you need a separate provider app to act as an intermediary between your phone and the external gps and for some reason it wont automatically reconnect to the garmin glo when its turned on.

i use one phone for mapillary and another for navigating so it gets pretty tedious having to connect and disconnect both of them every time i want to map something… so i made this:

setup

• download Tasker (paid app, €3)
• download Bluetooth GPS and get it set up and connected to the garmin glo
• download these two profiles
• place the files into the “tasker/profiles” folder in your main storage
• in the tasker app, tap the “profiles” tab on the top left and import the files you just added to the folder
• once theyre imported, go into the triggers of both profiles and add the MAC address for your glo (tap the search icon on the right to get a list of available devices)

connecting

just power on the glo and wait for tasker to detect it.

by default, tasker scans for bluetooth devices every 2 minutes so depending on what point the scan is at, it might connect straight away or it might be closer to the 2 minute mark.
the scan time can be changed by going to “preferences/monitor/bt scan seconds” but scanning more frequently will use up more power/battery so it might be easier to just get into the habit of turning on the glo a few minutes before you need it so it will have enough time to connect.

its also best to turn on the screen when youre trying to connect this since tasker will only scan every 10 minutes when your phone is asleep

minor annoyance: if you restart your phone, the bluetooth gps app has to be opened once for the profiles to work again

disconnecting

when youre done using the glo, power it off and tasker will disconnect the bluetooth provider app. this is done automatically on some phones but not on all so its easier to leave tasker handle it

 
if youre new to tasker, ive probably glossed over some of the steps needed to get this to work so just leave a comment if youre having trouble
