To share and tether GPS using WiFi between 2 devices. Best example would be your phone and tablet. With this app, your phone with GPS functionality feature (server), will send GPS data to your tablet (client) using WiFi. With this, you are no longer constraint to your phone, but can utilize your big tablet for apps which requires location (e.g. Maps, fourSquare). There are many advance features built-in, such as encryption, automatic server search, and much more. This app must work in a pair; server and client. Please ensure you download the correct app.
A common example will be using your Android phone's and share tether GPS with a tablet (can easily buy it nowadays for <$100). With this, you can easily perform and use Google Maps location and other location applications on your tablet, even though the tablet does not have GPS functionality feature! This is a great way to escape the phone's small screen, and enjoy the tablet's big screen. On top of this, one can be creative as it can also be used to share tether GPS to a device located indoor, using WiFi network (server will be outdoor, client will be indoor). It has limitless possibilities...

How it works :
It is very plain and straight-forward. This application solution will tether the GPS data (using WiFi) from a device with GPS feature, to another device. Both devices must be on the same WiFi network (Android device can be a WiFi hotspot). No internet connection is required for it to work (free trial uses it for advertisements). For efficiency purposes, this solution comprises of 2 small applications :
- Server (usually installed on phone, device which sends GPS data)
- Client (usually installed on tablet, device which receives GPS data)
Features :
- Smartly establish and send GPS info over WiFi
- Encrypt the GPS data before sending For security. This will avoid eaves-dropping and ensure only your devices will be able to receive the GPS data.
- Save and conserve battery by setting application's run time to your preference, so it does not need to run longer than needed.
- App can run in background without interference, and notifiy if there are errors.
- Remembers previous server settings and automatically connect when started
- Ability to disconnect clients on the server application.
- User can specify server port to use
- Scan server automatically
- Manually add server for faster access
- Touch text to copy GPS coordinates
- Able to adjust text size
How to use it in brief :

- For client, ensure the 'mock locations' is enabled. It is under Settings (see screen shot)
- For server, ensure the GPS is enabled. It is under Settings (see screen shot)

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

1 ★I've been using this app to transmit GPS information from my Tablet to my Phone which had a broken GPS antenna. Server+ (Nexus 7 2012 Wifi on CM11.2) and Client+ (HTC DesireHD CM7.2) The client+ app works most of the time, other than some buggy app run time problems which sometimes terminates the app before the set-time. This problem can be avoided by changing the app run time, then completely exit out of the app then reopen the app. The server+ is riddled with problem. The server-to-client connection is easily interrupted upon going into and coming out of the lockscreen. While the screen is locked, the server+ app remains finicky. I've experience several loss of connection between the server and the client during a short ride. It could be caused by the simple loss of GPS signal. When coming out of the lockscreen, the server goes into a frenzy of GPS locked-on, loss of signal. The loop continues in the notification until I actually enter into the app, then the server stabilizes at Locked-on. In all, it's a buggy app. I've reverted back to TetherGPS for further testing. At this moment I cannot recommend this app to anyone. Although your mileage may vary.

1 ★Way to inconsistent...dropouts as soon as phone goes to sleep,(i.e) screen must always be on (server\host) phone. Plus they make you pay for both client and serve, what a joke...get off your arse and fix this for your paying customers.
4 ★Keep in mind that not all devices can use 3G and WiFi at the same time, so if your tablet has 3G and your phone does not, then make the tablet wifi hot spot and connect the phone with it. The GPS enabled device is not obligatory to be the wifi hot spot.
1 ★just crashes and disconnects constantly, its a shame the refund button disappears faster than you can test the app out
2 ★Works great when it works, will give 5 stars when this is fixed
3 ★It has a mind of it's own. Sometimes it will work sometimes it will disconnect from the server. I purchased both client and server apps and buggy at the moment
5 ★Wow! Works really well on my HTC!!
2 ★Client side works fairly well but the required server side is very flaky so the total solution is not recommended. There are better solutions out there.
1 ★Looked like it dropped out in back ground as soon as I went to an app that required the position data
