I purchased the GlobalSat ND-105C Micro USB GPS Receiver from
Amazon.
Then I thought I made a mistake until I did the following.
Enabled mock locations under Developer Options in the settings.
Checked on install third party apps under Developer Options
Downloaded You Are Here from outside Google Play and Amazon market, because it will not show as available for the Kindle Fire (no native GPS).
Installed and connected You Are Here to the plugged in USB GPS receiver.
Fired up Google Maps and confirmed my current location.
Still testing to see if TetherGPS is necessary.
I am concerned that the Kindle Fire does not have a USB powered port, but
You Are Here is getting coordinates anyway. I just need to see if it's getting coordinates from the GPS dongle. I could use
USB OTG apps to analyze the port.
