External GPS receiver support (for better reception/positioning) #452

Hi,

Is there a way to feed data into Android Auto from an external GPS transceiver (for example a U-Blox module that transmits GPS NMEA messages by UART - Serial). I am able to get this data onto the Raspberry Pi, but I do not know if it is possible to somehow feed it towards Android Auto.

Stock car units and supposedly Open Auto Pro can do this (https://bluewavestudio.io/community/showthread.php?tid=735).

It would really help with accuracy, because I am keeping my phone down near the armrest and the location sometimes lags behind.

I am kindly waiting for the input of someone who tinkered with this matter before.

Thanks!
