Hello,
I need to re-check Android to see if what is needed for this framework is now available on majority of devices.
What is your use case?
Thanks,
Romain

GL-770 support for android would be interesting. But even more interesting would be the GL-770 protocol definition. You did already figured out how to search and communicate with this device. Would you like to share your work?

Would be very nice to have this support as part of Locus Maps. As I understand correctly your app could already provide the GPS to other apps. I'm not sure what the disadvantages are on this approach.

On iOS the OS prevent GPS data injection from applications (possible only with 3rd party accessories which are part of MFI program, with embedded signature chip). So the framework must be embedded in each app which want to support external GPS via LNS Bluetooth service. That's why I made this framework.
On Android, as it is a little bit more open, it is possible to inject GPS data (via developer mode, it's not that open.)... anyway, it could work as on iOS, each app needing LNS Bluetooth service support could embed a framework to do so.
I'm not an Android dev, but I know how to do. If I find some time I will try to make this lib or framework.

For the GL-770, it's a LNS service as the standard defines it, but as its sending buffer is quite short, it sends one time information about altitude, speed etc and another time the user location (lat/lon). So in order to get all information you need to way 2 posts.
