Description
This application forwards NMEA data from your phone's GPS to a specified host. It's goal is to easily plug and feed data into a GPS server service (e.g. GPSd), using your cellphone as a GPS device. This way, your cellphone can be used as a GPS in navigation or robotics applications running in a host computer.
Data is forwarded using UDP. First, make sure the computer's IP is reachable from your cellphone; this is the case in most default access points, so it should work if both are connected to the same WiFi network.
On the host machine, execute gpsd -N udp://: (e.g. gpsd -N udp://*:29998). In the Android app, enter your host's IP and port and hit Start. Your host is now receiving GPS data forwarded from your phone. You can test it with gpsmon or other GPSd utilities.

Best app ever! Interface is lightweight and practical, so is the application itself. I was building a GPS-driven project and it helped me a lot for parsing, locating and other stuff. Thanks for building this!!!

Works consistently and reliably well!

Works like a charm:) I stream location directly to OpenCPN! Interface is harsh as hell, but does the job! Thank you:)

Works for me too, in combination with a Signal K server running on a laptop, listening on a UDP port. Power consumption of this app seems to be low, which is nice. It would be interesting to add some more features though, like: 1. setting the transmit interval in seconds 2. possibility to configure the required precision of GPS coordinates 3. toggle switch if message should be sent always, or only if position is different from the last one
