About UsbGps4Droid
UsbGps4Droid connects a USB GPS receiver to Android and provides location updates to the operating system. This lets apps that use GPS receive location data on devices without a reliable internal receiver. The app is designed to work with SiRF USB GPS devices and has been tested with several specific USB receivers. Android 4.0 or later is listed as supported. The app provides a background service that can run while other location-aware apps are in use. A tablet or other Android device can therefore use an external USB GPS source for mapping or location logging. The supplied information describes Android as the recipient of the location updates, allowing compatible apps to use them through the system. UsbGps4Droid is a GPS provider rather than a map or navigation app. Its usefulness depends on a compatible USB receiver and device connection; the app does not itself provide maps or route planning.
