Turn Your Phone into a GPS for Your E-reader

This guide demonstrates a clever method to add GPS location information to your ebook reader using your Android phone's Wi-Fi hotspot and two apps: Kickweb server and BlueNMEA. Simply activate your phone's Wi-Fi hotspot, connect your ebook reader, and navigate your ebook's browser to your phone's IP address (usually http://192.168.43.1:8080) to access the Kickweb server and enable GPS functionality. Note that Android's aggressive app optimization might close the apps; relaunching them periodically is necessary for continuous operation.
